Speaking to reporters at the White House Tuesday afternoon, Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre was repeatedly asked about President Joe Biden's medical records, medications a cognitive condition.
When asked whether the White House would produce Biden's full records to the press in the aftermath of his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump, where he repeatedly froze up and lost his train of thought, Jean Pierre refused to release information beyond a summary of Biden's annual physical results. She also falsely claimed the administration has been transparent about Biden's health, despite refusing to make White House Doctor Kevin O'Connor available to reporters for questioning.
Karine Jean-Pierre is having a ROUGH go of it today.

When asked directly if Biden has Alzheimers or another condition, Jean Pierre said "no."
Reporter: "The American people need to get a 'yes' or 'no' answer on this. Does President Biden, at 81-years-old, have Alzheimer's, any form of dementia or degenerative illness that may cause these sorts of lapses?"
