California Democratic gubernatorial candidate Antonio Villaraigosa (D) accused former Vice President Kamala Harris and former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra of engaging in a \u201ccover-up\u201d of former President Biden\u2019s cognitive decline while in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a lengthy statement released Tuesday, Villaraigosa cited revelations in journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson\u2019s new book \u201cOriginal Sin: President Biden\u2019s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt the highest levels of our government, those in power were intentionally complicit or told outright lies in a systematic cover-up to keep Joe Biden\u2019s mental decline from the public,\u201d said Villaraigosa, a former Los Angeles mayor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becerra launched a run for governor last month, and Harris is reportedly mulling a run for the position. Villaraigosa said, \u201cVoters deserve to know the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat did Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra know, when did they know it, and most importantly, why didn\u2019t either of them speak out?\u201d the former mayor said. \u201cThis cover-up directly led to a second Donald Trump term \u2014 and as a result, all Californians are paying the price.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book, published Tuesday, has made news this month after early excerpts revealed new details about the alleged efforts Biden\u2019s inner circle took to shield the public from signs of his cognitive decline during his last year in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book\u2019s release comes after Biden\u2019s personal office announced he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
