Former President Joe Biden made headlines this past weekend when it was revealed that he is suffering from an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

While the news brought a wave of sympathy for the former president, one Trump administration figure suggested that former First Lady Jill Biden should face criminal charges.

According to Breitbart columnist John Nolte, that argument was put forward by Leo Terrell, who serves as a counselor to the assistant attorney general for civil rights.

"Elder Abuse! Criminal Charges??" the DOJ official said of the former first lady in a social media post put up on Monday.

Terrell's comment came in response to another social media user who remarked that Mrs. Biden "knew about President Biden’s health problems" and yet still pushed him to run for a second term.

New questions about Joe Biden's mental health following audio release

Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis isn't the only revelation to make waves, as many were shocked to hear how the then president sounded in a 2023 interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.

An audio recording of the interview was made public by Axios last Friday, and it featured a segment in which Hur asked Mr. Biden about where he stored classified documents.

"So, during this time when you were living at Chain Bridge Road and there were documents relating to the Penn Biden Center or the Biden Institute, or the Cancer Moonshot, or your book, where did you keep papers that related to those things that you were actively working?" Hur inquired.

"Well…. I, I, I, I, I, I don’t know. This is what — 2017, 2018, that area?" a shaky Biden asked before Hur confirmed the relevant time frame.

Biden was confused over year of his son's death, when he left the Senate

"Remember, in this time frame, my son is either been deployed or is dying," Biden said regarding Beau Biden, who passed away in 2015.

"And, so, it was, and by the way, there are still a lot of people at the time when I got out of the Senate that were encouraging me to run in this period, except the president," the then president remarked despite him having left the Senate in January of 2009.

"I’m not — it’s not a mean thing to say, he just thought that she had a better shot of winning the presidency than I did," Biden continued.

This was apparently a reference to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who unsuccessfully ran for president against Donald Trump in 2016.
