Biden, America’s oldest ever commander-in-chief, has faced serious criticism about his mental capacity following a series of high-profile gaffes, including misremembering names and dates, and even with other world leaders.

Jackson claimed that the report only ‘further confirms that this administration is still adamant about concealing the truth.’
He told Fox: ‘Nowhere in the report was there mention of Biden’s deteriorating mental health.’
‘This is alarming, considering I have already sent three letters to the White House demanding that Biden receive a cognitive test and that the results be made public, all of which have been ignored.
‘Everyone can see something is wrong — the cover-up needs to end,’ he added.
