A forthcoming book by CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios' Alex Thompson alleges that, during the final two years of Joe Biden's presidency, some Cabinet members were deliberately kept from direct contact with the president.
The book claims senior aides restricted Cabinet access, raising concerns about Biden's ability to handle emergencies, especially late at night. Some Cabinet secretaries reportedly doubted Biden's reliability in crisis situations. These revelations suggest growing internal worries about the president's mental and physical fitness as his term progressed.
The book, titled 'Original Sin,' is set for release on May 20.
