Karine Jean-Pierre's stunning claim that she couldn't recall a single video of Joe Biden appearing confused or frozen has been debunked by a newly released transcript and video recording from her closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee. The former White House press secretary had previously accused The Post and other outlets of promoting "cheap fakes" by reporting on footage of Biden, then 81, wandering away and looking lost during events with world leaders.
During the Sept. 12 interview, Jean-Pierre was pressed on her claims, with chief counsel Jake Greenberg asking if she could speak to whether videos circulating online showing Biden appearing confused or freezing were "all fakes." Jean-Pierre responded that she couldn't speak to every single thing that was on social media, leaving room for interpretation.
When asked specifically about instances where videos showed Biden looking lost, the former press secretary argued that those moments were not what was happening. However, when Greenberg pressed her to recall any instances of Biden appearing confused or frozen, Jean-Pierre stunningly replied that she couldn't remember a single video showing him in such a state.
In another exchange, Jean-Pierre described Biden's performance at a June 2024 debate against President Trump as "a bad night" and claimed he said it was a result of being sick. When asked if the infamous line "We finally beat Medicare" – which some interpreted as a sign of cognitive decline – was indicative of a cold, Jean-Pierre insisted that he was indeed sick, but couldn't speak to what he was thinking at the time.
The House Oversight Committee's investigation into Biden's alleged mental decline has concluded that his inner circle took steps to stage-manage his public appearances and block lawmakers from talking to him. The panel released a bombshell report earlier this week, which found that dozens of Biden's executive actions "cannot all be deemed his own" due to the efforts of his closest advisers to prop up the 46th president as he suffered physical and cognitive decline in office.
The discrepancy between Jean-Pierre's testimony and her previous claims highlights the inconsistencies and contradictions in her account. The release of the transcript and video recording has raised questions about the accuracy of her statements and the potential for a cover-up or misrepresentation of facts.

I'm low-key surprised this came out now 
. Jean-Pierre's claim was already pretty sketchy, but I guess it's one thing to accuse other outlets of spreading fake vids and another to deny you have any recollection of vids showing Biden acting confused 
. The fact that she couldn't recall a single vid is pretty suspicious, especially considering all the times her predecessor told us she had "no knowledge" of certain things 
. It's like she just changed her story or something 
. I wonder if there's more to this investigation than meets the eye 
...
, this is getting crazy! Karine Jean-Pierre's claim was already suspicious but now it looks like she was just winging it 
. The fact that they had to stage-manage Biden's appearances and block lawmakers from talking to him... that's some deep stuff 
. It's hard to trust anyone right now, especially when you're dealing with people in power 
. This whole thing is a mess! 
. I mean, come on, she can't even recall a single video of Joe Biden looking confused? That's just ridiculous! And now this new transcript and video recording comes out showing her making some pretty dodgy claims? Give me a break!
. I'm sticking with my gut feeling that Jean-Pierre's story just doesn't add up. What do you guys think?
it's weird how she changes her story like that. I'm not surprised though, all these cover-ups and misrepresentations are pretty common in politics 
. It just goes to show that sometimes people will say whatever they think is needed to get by, even if it's not entirely true 
.
I mean, if you can't trust your own testimony, how can we trust what the White House is saying? This whole thing is giving me major " something's not quite right" vibes 
. It's not like Biden is still doing 80s dance moves at world leaders' events, right? 
. i'm so tired of all these back-and-forth debates about biden's health... can't we just focus on the real issues instead of speculating about his mental state? 
let's try to be more understanding and less judgmental, okay? 
by Karine Jean-Pierre's sudden memory lapse on that closed-door interview. It seems like she was trying to spin the narrative, but now it backfired 
. That doesn't add up, especially considering the investigation found that his team was staging-managing everything to make him look good 
. It's like they were trying to hide something behind a mask of "we're just trying to help the President" 
.
I mean, if he was indeed sick, wouldn't he be like "what did I say?" rather than just saying it again? 
... wait, no... maybe that's not how it went down at all 
. It's like, yeah, sure, she said she couldn't recall any specific vids, but come on, how hard is it to keep track of what's happening in the White House? 
.
. The public has a right to know what's really going on, and I'm glad someone is finally speaking truth to power 
.
Anyway, gotta keep an eye on this one, folks! 
. If Karine Jean-Pierre's so sure that every video of Biden looking confused is fake, why can't she recall a single instance where he's actually looking fine? 
. The fact that her testimony contradicts herself is basically an open invitation to scrutiny 
. It's not cool when you can't even remember a video showing your boss being clear-headed and then suddenly forgets about it altogether 
. This whole thing just reeks of controversy and raises so many questions about what really went down in that closed-door interview
