Fox News paused for breaking Joe Biden update as bombshell claims aired
Bombshell allegations have been addressed on Fox News Sunday about former US President Joe Biden, who has been seen for the first time since his heartbreaking cancer diagnosis.
Co-author of Biden expose chats about book
Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream paused the latest instalment of the programme in the wake of Joe Biden, 82, being seen attending services in Wilmington, Delaware, just a week after his shock cancer diagnosis, to speak to author Alex Thompson about his Biden exposé called Original Sin.
During the exclusive interview, he claimed aides surrounding the former president "rationalised doing undemocratic" things to keep Biden's cognitive decline hidden and Donald Trump out of power.
Shannon began: "You mention in the book you speak to a lot of members of the cabinet and I thought this was extremely illuminating and a little bit frightening as some of them told you they didn't think [Biden] could handle waking up at 2am in the middle of the night."
She continued: "One of them who saw him in person last year said he was shocked by how disoriented he was. [He said] his mouth was hanging open and he seemed out of it."

When asked if those cabinet officials had any remorse over their alleged remarks, Alex claimed: "There was definitely a lot of self reflection about what, if anything, they could have done differently."
He also claimed: "This is the reason so many people were shielding him from the White House as much as possible, including cabinet secretaries. You see him once and think, 'Maybe it's just a bad day,' you are not really sure."
The host went on to ask about Biden's doctor, Kevin O'Connor, following the news of his prostate cancer diagnosis. She asked Alex: "Was Doctor O'Connor too close to [Biden] to significantly and accurately pro his physical and mental health?"
It comes after medical professionals like Zeke Emanuel claimed Biden may have had cancer for years.
Alex replied: "Zeke worked on Biden's COVID team, and he said he was almost certain Biden had this cancer when he was the President. That either means he had cancer and his doctor did not catch it, or it means they did catch it and they didn't disclose it, so it's raised more questions."
He also claimed: "Even longtime Biden aides have told me they are sceptical and feel like they don't have all the information when it comes to this cancer diagnosis."
News of Biden's cancer diagnosis broke around the globe on Sunday, May 18, with the former US President breaking his silence about this illness the following day.
