Former deputy chief of staff for policy Bruce Reed arrived on Capitol Hill for his closed-door deposition with the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday. Former White House physician Kevin O'Connor previously dismissed cognitive tests as "meaningless," ex-Biden administration aide Bruce Reed told House investigators on Tuesday, according to a source familiar with the proceedings. Reed, who served as White House deputy chief of staff for policy, is the ninth member of former President Joe Biden's inner circle to sit down with House Oversight Committee lawyers. A source familiar with his interview told Fox News Digital that Reed attributed Biden's disastrous 2024 debate performance against then-candidate Donald Trump to the former president's stutter, a condition that's been well-documented and Biden himself has publicly acknowledged. But his meandering and seemingly tired demeanor on stage with Trump alarmed both Democrats and media pundits, who saw it as a glaring sign of Biden's advanced age.

CNN host Jake Tapper told Joe Scarborough during a Wednesday conversation on "Morning Joe" that former President Biden made an effort to convince the MSNBC host that he was fit to run for re-election. The Washington Post editorial board called for more oversight of the Oval Office on Wednesday to ensure a cover-up of the president's health doesn't happen again following revelations in a bombshell book alleging the White House hid former President Joe Biden's decline from the public. "It now seems that, for a considerable time, Biden might have lacked the stamina and cognitive capacity the job demands -- and that his family and closest aides concealed this from the public," the paper's editorial board wrote. "Their apparent decision to put personal loyalties ahead of their duty to the country must be reckoned with. A legal mechanism should be considered to ensure that this doesn't happen again," the board proposed.

Former United States President Joe Biden was not diagnosed with prostate cancer before last week, and received his "last known" blood test for the disease more than a decade ago, his office has said. The Biden camp's statement on Tuesday came as critics, including current President Donald Trump, stoked scepticism over the timing of the diagnosis, which has reanimated questions about whether the former president misled the public about his health while in office. "President Biden's last known PSA was in 2014," Biden's office said in the brief statement, referring to the prostate-specific antigen test used to detect prostate cancer. "Prior to Friday, President Biden had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer." On Monday, Trump said he was "surprised" that the public had not been notified about Biden's diagnosis "a long time ago".

Secretary of Energy Chris Wright discusses the economic impact of lowering energy prices, why energy is essential for artificial intelligence dominance, American LNG exports and possible U.S. operation of Ukrainian nuclear plants. Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, said that his constituents are feeling optimistic once again about the future of the oil and gas industry in his district and beyond. The Republican represents parts of central Texas that are critical to the industry, including the Permian Basin, as the Trump administration has famously promised to "drill, baby, drill." "Think about the hardworking men and women of the Permian Basin, or the Bakken or the Marcellus, or any other producing area. President Biden said, 'What you do is evil. You producing oil and gas is evil.' I mean, they basically demonized them," he told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.

New deep fakes are all over the internet -- and you won't believe the new ones Raymond Arroyo has located. The trial has begun of a Democratic political consultant who has admitted to sending artificial intelligence (AI) generated robocalls mimicking President Biden ahead of the 2024 New Hampshire primary. Steve Kramer faces a 6 million fine and more than two dozen criminal charges after he hired a magician to create a deepfake of President Biden urging New Hampshire voters not to participate in the primary. The fines, proposed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), are the first involving AI technology. Former president Joe Biden speaks on the phone during a National Small Business Week event in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, DC, on May 1, 2023, left.

'Fox & Friends First' host Carley Shimkus discusses the Fox Flight Team joining the search for UAPs in the Northeast and a classified briefing for lawmakers stating nothing'nefarious' is happening in New Jersey skies. Congress is set to pass legislation to avert a government shutdown that will reauthorize the government's ability to intercept and track unauthorized drones and crack down on U.S. investment in China. The 1,500 page continuing resolution (CR), which will fund the government until March 14, includes a provision reauthorizing a Department of Homeland Security program allowing agencies to coordinate and counter threats from drones. That authority, passed in 2018, was set to expire Friday – at a time when concerns about drone incursions are at an all-time high. However, it is a simple reauthorization of a program many drone experts say is outdated.

President-elect Donald Trump ripped the Biden administration for selling border wall materials while delivering remarks from Mar-a-Lago, vowing to deliver'prosperity' ahead of his second term. President-elect Trump claims that President Biden's administration "knows what is happening" regarding unexplained drone sightings over New Jersey, New York and other states. Trump made the statement Monday during a lengthy press conference with reporters at Mar-a-Lago, saying the U.S. military certainly knows the origin of the drones. "The government knows what is happening. Look, our military knows where they took off from. If it's a garage they can go right inside. They know where it came from and where it went," Trump said.

Whoopi Goldberg and'View' guest Charlamagne Tha God argued over President Biden's pardon of Hunter and whether he was a liar. "The View" co-host Ana Navarro admitted that she relied on information given by ChatGPT after she was mocked for sharing false information about presidential pardons in her defense of President Biden. Biden came under fire this week for issuing a sweeping pardon to his son Hunter Biden on Sunday after repeatedly insisting he would not do so. Navarro, who identifies as a Republican but is an ardent supporter of Democrats who reliably offers liberal commentary on "The View" and on CNN, came out swinging against Biden's critics. She wrote on X, "Woodrow Wilson pardoned his brother-in-law, Hunter deButts. Bill Clinton pardoned his brother, Roger. Donald Trump pardoned his daughter's father-in-law, Charlie Kushner. And just appointed him Ambassador to France. But tell me again how Joe Biden'is setting precedent'?" Navarro's bizarre claim about Woodrow Wilson's pardon of a fictional brother-in-law named "Hunter deButts" instantly raised eyebrows.

President Biden's administration will end within two months, and likely to depart with him is Arati Prabhakar, the top mind for science and technology in his cabinet. She has served as Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy since 2022 and was the first to demonstrate ChatGPT to the president in the Oval Office. Prabhakar was instrumental in passing the president's executive order on AI in 2023, which sets guidelines for tech companies to make AI safer and more transparent (though it relies on voluntary participation). As she prepares for the end of the administration, MIT Technology Review sat down with Prabhakar and asked her to reflect on President Biden's AI accomplishments, and how the approach to AI risks, immigration policies, the CHIPS Act and more could change under Trump.

The White House issued its first national security memorandum outlining the use of artificial intelligence for the military and intelligence agencies. The White House also shared a shortened copy of the memo with the public. The memo sets a series of deadlines for agencies to study the applications and regulations of AI tools, most of which will lapse following President Biden's term. The memo also aims to limit "the most dystopian possibilities, including the development of autonomous weapons," according to the New York Times. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan announced the new directive today at the National Defense University as part of a talk on AI's presence in government operations.
