Steve Cortes, founder of the League of American Workers, has expressed concerns regarding President Joe Biden’s health. He said that efforts to conceal any incapacity on the part of the President pose a national security risk and should be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted if any crimes are found. This statement was made on X.
“The White House and Media attempts to cover-up Biden’s incapacity MUST be investigated — and any crimes must be prosecuted,” said Cortes. “Why? Because it was a National Security crisis! Details here, plus a preview of my upcoming doc exposing the Wind Scam:”
Recent discussions have arisen concerning President Biden’s health, with critics and some media outlets suggesting that the administration may not be fully transparent about his physical and cognitive condition. The Wall Street Journal reports that calls for formal inquiries and greater transparency have increased following public missteps and restricted media access at official events. This has fueled ongoing debate about whether the White House is adequately open regarding any potential incapacity.
According to the Congressional Research Service, there is no legal obligation for U.S. presidents to disclose detailed health records, although most have voluntarily provided periodic medical updates. The frequency and extent of these disclosures are at the president’s discretion, guided only by broad constitutional provisions on incapacity without mandatory reporting requirements.
Historical analysis from the Miller Center at the University of Virginia indicates that secrecy surrounding presidential health—such as Woodrow Wilson’s concealed stroke or Grover Cleveland’s hidden cancer surgery—has historically undermined public trust and raised concerns about national security and government continuity. These incidents underscore the long-term risks associated with limited transparency regarding a president’s health.
Cortes is also known as a senior political advisor to CatholicVote, a former senior advisor to President Trump and JD Vance, and a commentator for Fox News and CNN. He frequently publishes documentaries and columns on cortesinvestigates.com.
