While the two journalists want to be seen as whistleblowers exposing Biden’s mental decline, critics argue their book is a sanitized version of events designed to absolve media outlets like CNN and Axios—both of which spent years shielding Biden from public scrutiny.
Still, the details Thompson dropped were damning.
“It’s a small group of people that have been around,” he told Goldberg when asked who was really running the White House. He went on to name the unelected inner circle: “Mike Donilon, Biden’s longtime political liaison, Steve Ricchetti… Bruce Reed… Ron Klain… Jill Biden, Hunter Biden… Jill’s main chief of staff, Anthony Bernal… Annie Tomasini, who is often Biden’s traveling chief of staff.”
That list reads less like a team of public servants and more like a private cabal—one operating in the shadows while the nation believed Joe Biden was calling the shots.
Tapper confirmed the role Jill Biden allegedly played in this closed-off operation, suggesting the First Lady acted as a gatekeeper between the president and top officials.
“They are keeping the cabinet away from him, they’re keeping some White House staffers away from him, they’re keeping members of Congress away from him,” Tapper admitted. “He knows what’s going on.”
The implication is chilling: If the president of the United States is being hidden from his own cabinet, who’s actually running the country?
Worse yet, Tapper didn’t mince words when describing the gravity of the situation.
“It’s not Weekend at Bernie’s, right?… This could be worse than Watergate.”
And now, lawmakers are paying attention.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer has announced a formal investigation into the allegations, calling into question the legality of unelected individuals allegedly exercising presidential authority.
If proven true, the so-called “Politburo”—which includes the First Lady herself—could face subpoenas and be forced to testify under oath about their role in what critics are calling a silent coup.
The political implications are staggering. Jill Biden, long dismissed by critics as an overinvolved spouse, may now be viewed as one of the central figures in a behind-the-scenes operation that undermined the very foundation of American democracy: the will of the voters.
The storm is just beginning to form over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and for the First Lady, the spotlight is turning from adoring praise to piercing scrutiny.
If Tapper and Thompson are telling even half the truth, then the American people were sold a presidency that never really existed—and the First Lady may have been holding the reins all along.
