Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) revealed Friday that a Secret Service whistleblower has alleged former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline was so pronounced that he would sometimes “get lost in his closet.”
“This Secret Service whistleblower actually was assigned to Biden,” the Missouri senator told Fox News host Sean Hannity. Hawley spoke to several Secret Service sources, some of whom acted as whistleblowers, following the assassination attempt on President Trump in Pennsylvania last summer.
“He told me that Biden used to get lost in his closet in the mornings at the White House,” the senator revealed. “I mean, the guy literally stumbling around in the White House residence couldn’t find his way out of his own closet. The president of the United States. This is outrageous. We were lied to.”

The latest revelation comes amid a series of investigations by Republican lawmakers into former President Biden’s cognitive decline and alleged efforts by his staff to conceal it from the public. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) is examining whether Biden’s aides used autopen technology to authorize executive orders and directives without his direct involvement. The Department of Justice is also investigating the matter through Pardon Attorney Ed Martin.
Martin noted that the use of an autopen—a device that replicates signatures for signing large volumes of documents—is not inherently problematic. However, a Heritage Foundation analysis concluded that President Biden likely used autopen to sign nearly every official document during his time in office, with the only apparent exception being the letter in which he withdrew from the presidential race.
Earlier this week, Power the Future, a nonprofit founded by energy expert Daniel Turner, released a report finding “no evidence” that Biden was aware of several major executive orders related to climate and energy policy. The report highlighted that Biden never publicly addressed any of these sweeping directives—including one that committed the federal government to net-zero emissions by 2050—in any press conference, speech, or video statement.
