The Biden family’s systematic campaign of secrecy surrounding Beau Biden’s diagnosis of brain cancer while he was Delaware’s attorney general is exposed in an explosive new book. The dishonest strategies described in Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s book “Original Sin” are similar to the current administration’s purported concealment of President Biden’s cognitive decline before his unsuccessful 2024 reelection campaign.
Pattern of Secrecy and Deception
The revealing account titled “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again” presents damning evidence of the Biden family’s efforts to mislead the public about serious health issues. Authors Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson document how the Bidens concealed Beau’s glioblastoma brain tumor diagnosis while he continued serving as Delaware’s top law enforcement official.
In “Original Sin, President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson allege that Biden hid information about the cancer diagnosis of his late son, Beau, who was an elected official at the time.https://t.co/BgZT8hsPCG

According to the book, Beau Biden used the alias “George Lincoln” during hospital visits to maintain secrecy about his condition. In November 2013, despite undergoing brain surgery, Beau publicly claimed he had received a “clean bill of health” – a statement the book suggests was deliberately misleading to Delaware voters.
Vice Presidential Cover-Up
Then-Vice President Joe Biden allegedly instructed staff to lie about his whereabouts when he traveled to Houston to be with Beau during treatments. The book details how the elder Biden would make undisclosed trips to MD Anderson Cancer Center while his official schedule showed him at his Delaware home.

The family’s commitment to secrecy reportedly confused even Beau’s wife, Hallie, who questioned why they wouldn’t disclose the illness and potentially gain public support. Internal debates among Beau’s team about transparency ultimately resulted in continued concealment, despite his role as a public official accountable to Delaware citizens.
History Repeating: Biden’s Cognitive Decline
The authors draw concerning parallels between the family’s handling of Beau’s illness and the current administration’s approach to Joe Biden’s alleged cognitive decline. The book suggests that the same pattern of denial, secrecy, and misleading statements pattern has characterized Biden’s presidency and failed 2024 campaign.
“Beau’s cancer treatment also demonstrated Biden’s capacity for denial and the lengths they would go to avoid transparency about health issues, even when the person in question is an elected official, in this case, the sitting attorney general of Delaware.”
Beau Biden ultimately succumbed to his brain tumor in May 2015 at age 46 after the family’s years-long attempt to keep his condition private. The book, described by The New York Times as “explosive” and by The Atlantic as “the most significant book to date about Biden’s cognitive decline,” provides an insider look at the Biden family’s troubling pattern of withholding critical health information from the American public.
