Leo Terrell, a senior counselor at the DOJ and former Fox News contributor, suggested Jill Biden could face criminal charges, calling the situation “elder abuse” following news of former President Joe Biden’s aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis. The comment added fuel to speculation that Biden’s condition may have been hidden from the public.
Biden’s cancer, which has reportedly spread to his bones, was announced after he sought care for worsening urinary symptoms. Experts, including Yale’s Dr. Howie Forman and Fox’s Dr. Marc Siegel, questioned how such an advanced case wasn’t caught earlier—especially given routine PSA tests typically detect prostate cancer in its early stages.
Critics pointed to the lack of accessible medical records and Biden’s age as reasons for heightened scrutiny. While Biden’s office claims the cancer is hormone-sensitive and treatable, the sudden announcement raised concerns about transparency.
Some, including President Trump and his allies, accused Biden’s team of concealment. Terrell’s remarks now echo broader claims that those closest to Biden—potentially including the former First Lady—may have knowingly withheld critical health information from the public.
