Good, now I don't have to bother reading Cover-Up Artist Jake Tapper's stupid cashgrab book.

A senior aide for former President Joe Biden has admitted the administration was "gaslighting" Americans when it repeatedly dismissed growing concerns about the oldest-ever president's age and ability.

Michael LaRosa, a former White House aide and longtime press secretary for first lady Jill Biden, admitted that Mb "Cover-up to me is a little hard, a little harsh. Every politician, everybody, every human being tries to cover up age. We were always, from day one, cognizant that age was an issue," LaRosa said Wednesday at a Science Institute at American University seminar.

"There are some things that are true, I mean, like the gaslighting. There was a lot of denial of the polling. And I will use the term gaslighting because that's what they were doing, the campaign, former colleagues. The message to everybody was to make sure that you tell people it's too early."

But behind the scenes, the Biden campaign was terrified of letting him fly solo, according to LaRosa.

"The president's team was scared to death of impromptu, unscripted, unrehearsed, unpracticed, unchoreographed, anything, they couldn't compete for the attention economy," he said.

"They just couldn't do it. They didn't have any idea. And they didn't have the vessel either in Biden, by the way, who would have done anything. He loves TV. He loves doing stuff. It was the orbit that did not trust their own candidate.

"Biden needed the press. When he needed them the most, they didn't trust him, they gave him the back foot of the doubt and they put their foot on the gas and never took it off. And he was politically dead."

What about the coke?

Trump has theories.

President Trump is convinced that someone in the Biden family left behind the bag of cocaine that was found in the West Wing in July 2023 -- and has vowed to conduct an investigation.

In an interview with The Spectator World Thursday, Trump spilled that his return to the Oval Office persuaded him that "either Joe or Hunter" Biden misplaced the white powder in the White House.

"That was such a terrible thing because, you know, those bins are very loaded up with ... they're not clean, and they have hundreds and even thousands of fingerprints," the president said, referring to the lockers where the cocaine was found.

"And when they went to look at it, it was absolutely stone cold, wiped dry. You know that, right?"

Trump, 78, added that he was "going to look into that because ... bad stuff happened there."

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) revealed last month that he folded up a congressional probe into the matter due to interference by the US Secret Service.
