“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement noted.

It added: “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.”

Biden and his family “are reviewing treatment options with his physicians,” the statement said, per CNN.

The new health diagnosis comes amid the publishing of new books and reports that faulted aides to the former president for hiding his deteriorating mental capacities during his presidency.

In January, CNN’s Jake Tapper, who along with a co-writer is set to release a book called “Original Sin,” whereby they document Biden’s mental troubles and how they were hidden from the public, reminded Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., how he was “relentlessly harsh against Special Counsel Robert Hur” and his report on the then-president despite it being “pretty accurate.”

“President Biden gave a pretty harsh assessment of the investigation into his son Hunter,” Tapper began. “He basically threw the Justice Department under the bus there for those investigations. And Democrats, including you, were relentlessly harsh against Special Counsel Robert Hur for making an observation that proved pretty accurate, about how Joe Biden might appear to a jury as a ‘well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.’”

“I was critical of that for good reason,” Schiff argued. “And that is, you don’t put gratuitous personal observations like that in a prosecutorial memo. You just don’t. And it was done for a political reason,” Schiff claimed, ignoring the fact that Hur’s assessment wasn’t ‘personal’, it was an observation based on his interactions with Biden — and that it was spot-on, as newly released audio of Hur’s interview with the former president proves.

“So it’s not that, you know, everyone, including special counsels, necessarily follow [Department of Justice] policy the way I believe they should. And when they don’t, I call it out. And as indeed I did, I disagreed with the president’s comments about the prosecution of his own son,” Schiff said.

Schiff continued to blame Republicans for a “a multi-year campaign” to paint the Justice Department as the “deep state.” Tapper provided a brief explanation of the context surrounding Hur’s comments before transitioning to another topic.

“I think Robert Hur would say he needed to explain why he wasn’t going to prosecute President Biden for what he thought was a violation of the law,” Tapper clarified.

Although Hur determined that Biden knowingly kept classified materials in violation of the law, his February report ultimately concluded that, due to Biden’s reduced mental capacity, he would not recommend charging him.

“Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Hur wrote in his report.

During a House hearing in March, Hur was viciously smeared by Schiff, then a congressman from California.

Hur defended his actions and his conclusions in his final report, though he took flak from Republicans for refusing to bring charges against Biden, though he concluded the president had committed crimes.
