FORMER first lady Jill Biden should be charged with “elder abuse”;;for not revealing Joe Biden’s health issues, a senior DOJ official has said.
Leo Terrell, who is the senior counselor to the Assistant Attorney General for civil rights, has made the shocking claim.
His comments came after widespread speculation broke suggesting the former president’s diagnosis may have been .
Biden announced his from his personal office on Sunday.
Shortly after the announcement, Terrell responded to an X post that suggested Jill Biden “knew about Joe’s health problems”;; but still “still wanted him to run for President.”;;
He wrote: “Elder abuse! Criminal charges??”;;
The senior DOJ official – who was recently appointed by Donald Trump – has accused Jill of “elder abuse”;; for years in a slew of posts made on X.
One of them read: “I am willing to prosecute Jill for elder abuse!”;;
Another read: “This woman is GUILTY of Elder Abuse. Stay home and take care of your incompetent husband!”;;
Even has questioned how Jill failed to pick up the cancer – even though she is not a medical doctor.
Terrel’s latest tweet comes as Joe Biden is facing while in office amid his cancer shock.
The former president, 82, claimed to have had cancer during a speech slip-up three years ago – which sparked fears for his health at the time.
He said: “That’s why I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer and why for the longest time Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation.”;;
Biden’s use of the present tense led to speculations that the president was suffering from cancer.
But these were dismissed after it was suggested that the comments were a reference to “non-melanoma skin cancers”;;.
Before assuming the presidency,had a number of “localized, non-melanoma skin cancers”;; removed by surgery.
In November 2021, Biden had a polyp removed from his colon that was a benign, but potentially pre-cancerous lesion.
And in February 2023, he had a skin lesion removed from his chest that was a basal cell carcinoma, a common form of skin cancer.
Non-melanoma skin cancer typically develops in the areas of the body most exposed to the sun such as the face, ears, hands, shoulders, upper chest, and back.
The latest statement from Biden’s personal office said that he was seen by doctors last week after suffering urinary symptoms, with a prostate nodule then being found.
He was then diagnosed withon Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone.
This comes asand said he was “surprised”;; the public wasn’t told long ago about Biden’s cancer.
The US President cast doubt on the timeline of Biden’s diagnosis on Monday as he said it usually takes a “long time”;; to reach such an aggressive stage of cancer.
Trump was backed up by a leading oncologist who claimed that thewhen he took office in 2021.
Dr Zeke Emanuel said: “He had it while he was President.
“He probably had it at the start of his presidency, in 2021.”;;
Meanwhile, top medics have said they are and allowed to advance so far.
Physicians also revealed some of the potential treatment options ahead of the former president who is likely to suffer “bone pain”;;.
Dr Marc Siegel, senior medical analyst for Fox News, told the channel: “It’s the most aggressive type. That means it has the highest risk of spread – which obviously he has had.
“Thiswas found by physical examination by a prostate exam. A lot of times we find an elevation in prostate-specific antigen, PSA, and then we go after it.”;;
Dr Howie Forman, a professor of radiology at Yale, was also shocked that Biden’s disease had not been picked up by routine blood tests.
He said: “It is inconceivable that this was not being followed before he left the Presidency.”;;
Forman said that the test for specific prostate antigens would have shown the cancer “for some time before this diagnosis”;; – so it could have been picked up earlier.
He noted Biden “must have had a PSA test numerous times before”;;, and concluded: “It’s just so odd to discover this with bone [metastasis] in a man of his stature and [with his] access to care.”;;
