“Jill Biden was complicit in covering up Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline,” the congresswoman said in a post on X. “She should face CRIMINAL CHARGES for elder abuse!!”
In an interview with The Post , geriatric medical specialist Elaine Healy said that the former president is showing “telltale signs of elder abuse.”
“Visible bruising and other injuries from physical violence are obvious forms of abuse. Non-violent actions — like deprivation of food, causing weight loss, or intimidation, causing social withdrawal and personality changes — are also defined as abusive behavior,” she said.

“A more sinister type of elder abuse, however, involves the exploitation of an elderly individual for the abuser’s financial, personal, or — in this case — political gain,” the doctor said.
She also spoke about what the former first lady did with her husband after his infamous debate with then-GOP candidate Donald Trump, where she had to guide him off the stage.
“What was behind her insistence that he run for office when she, above all others, had to be aware of his failing cognitive capacities and declining physical health?” she said. “Is she a loving spouse or a master manipulator, using his dependency on her to control his decision-making? If the latter, she is engaged in elder abuse.”
Even Sally Quinn, a Washington Post columnist and outspoken critic of Trump, criticized Jill Biden.
“I blame Jill Biden for this. Jill Biden is his wife. And if Jill Biden had stood up and gone to him and said, ‘Joe, you can’t do it’… He wouldn’t have run,” she said on the “Tara Palmeri Show.”
“She clearly was in favor of his running, and I just think it was a terrible disservice to the country. She wasn’t protecting him… I thought it was elder abuse, really,” Quinn declared.
And Donald Trump Jr. also questioned the former first lady’s complicity in a “cover-up.”
“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???” he said sarcastically on Truth Social.
Several doctors have spoken since the announcement and said it was “inconceivable” that the former president’s prostate cancer had not been detected long before his announcement, The New York Post reported.
His cancer was a Gleason score of 9, which has puzzled many as to how it was missed for so long.
“It is inconceivable that this was not being followed before he left the Presidency,” Dr. Howard Forman said in an X post.
“Gleason grade 9 would have had an elevated PSA level for some time before this diagnosis. And he must have had a PSA test numerous times before. This is odd,” he said. “I wish him well and hope he has an opportunity for maximizing his quality of life.”
Dr. Steven Quay said that the cancer the former president has is among the simplest to diagnose in its early stages.
“The PSA blood test shows the rate of cancer cell growth. For even with the most aggressive form, it is a 5-7 year journey without treatment before it becomes metastatic,” the doctor said.
“Meaning, it would be malpractice for this patient to show up and be first diagnosed with metastatic disease in May 2025,” he said.
“It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure and the American people were uninformed,” he said.
Dr. Marc Siegel, a medical analyst for Fox News, expressed shock at the severity of the diagnosis. “You’d expect someone in his position to have access to the best care available,” he said. “It’s surprising—and frankly troubling—that it’s this far advanced.”
