Biden Aide Blames President’s Stutter For Bad Debate Performance In Oversight Testimony

Bruce Reed, a high -level advisor of the White House, told the investigators of the Chamber that the performance of the disastrous debate by former president Joe Biden was due to his stuttering – and not to the cognitive decline, said a familiar source on a daily basis.

Reed, who was a deputy chief of staff for the policy, made this complaint during an interview transcribed to the chamber’s surveillance committee, the source said. When asked if the voters had legitimate concerns about the mental form of Biden, Reed would have said that there was no reason to doubt the cognitive health of the former president.

Reed told legislators that early debate was a decision calculated to advance early voting and the 2024 Olympic Games – and not an answer to concerns about the age of Biden, the source said.

He also said that Biden’s team expected questions about a cognitive test when preparing the former president’s former president with ABC George Stephanopoulos, and said Dr. Kevin O’Connor rejected tests such as “meaning”.

Reed, a longtime ally of Biden, was previously chief of staff during the vice-president and held management positions in the two presidential campaigns of Biden. He also worked as an editor of speeches for then-sen. Al Gore and held policy positions in the administrations Clinton and Obama.

Two other close relatives of Biden aid – Steve Ricchetti and Mike Donilon – also seated for hours of testimony behind closed doors last week. Ricchetti would have echoed Reed’s defense, while Donilon said he was not aware of the autopen or how it was used.

Former Jill Biden, former chief of staff, Anthony Bernal, the presidential aid Annie Tomasini and O’Connor all invoked the fifth amendment during the recent committee procedure, said the source.
