Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson Reveal New Bombshells From Explosive Biden Book

CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson, co‑authors of the new book Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, join Mediaite's Aidan McLaughlin on Press Club for a wide-ranging interview on their explosive reporting on the former president and the ferocious media reaction to it. They reveal what happened when Biden didn't recognize George Clooney at a 2024 fundraiser, how Biden's staff worked to hide his condition from the world, how the media failed to uncover what was really going on, and why Fox News and The View have refused to put Tapper and Thompson on the air to discuss their book.
