Senate GOP Launches Probe Into Biden’s Cognitive Decline

May 29, 2025 at 4:48 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Senate Republicans plan to launch their own investigation next month that delves into the alleged “conspiracy” behind former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline,” Fox News reports.

“The lawmakers are still gathering witnesses for the probe, which would be the first full congressional committee hearing on the subject.”

Said Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO): “It’s time to expose how a cadre of Biden aides and family members were the de facto commander in chief, while President Biden was sidelined. I look forward to getting the American people the answers they deserve.”
