Former President Donald Trump has accused FBI Director Christopher Wray of concealing President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. Following Wray’s congressional testimony, Trump took to Truth Social, asserting that Wray should resign for downplaying Biden’s mental health issues. Trump argued that if Wray truly found nothing wrong with Biden, he is unfit to lead the FBI.
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Representative Matt Gaetz pressed Wray on whether he had noticed any cognitive degeneration in Biden. Wray described his interactions with Biden as “uneventful” and “unremarkable,” suggesting no concerns about the president’s mental fitness. Gaetz questioned Wray further, highlighting the president’s limited alert hours between 10 AM and 4 PM. Wray confirmed briefing Biden at various times, maintaining that he observed no significant issues.
Trump’s criticism stems from his belief that Biden’s decision not to seek re-election indicates an inability to effectively serve. Figures like Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance have echoed these concerns, calling for Biden to resign based on his cognitive health. The exchange between Gaetz and Wray, coupled with Trump’s accusations, underscores ongoing doubts about Biden’s capacity to govern and adds pressure on Wray to address these concerns transparently.
