Biden family insider exposes culture of concealment in former administration
Biden family insider Michael LaRosa opened up about the former administration's culture of concealment while speaking to Fox News on Sunday, telling "Fox & Friends Weekend" co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy that the people surrounding the former president during his tenure in the White House were unwilling to be transparent. "This was a group in the White House who were allergic to transparency, and I'm talking about just in the East Wing," he said. "The very first day walking into the White House, the usher was fired, and I couldn't get reporters straight answers, because nobody would give me straight answers." Biden Insider Exposes How White House 'Gaslit' The Public About Former President's Decline LaRosa, who served as press secretary for former First Lady Jill Biden from 2021 to 2022, noted that his comments were not intended to suggest whether Biden was fit or unfit for office, as audio obtained by Fox News captures the former president appearing to struggle to remember key details while being pressed on his handling of classified documents. "What I am suggesting… [is] it was not intuitive… it was not their style to be transparent about anything. They took days and months to be deliberative, and I'm talking about the small things, about when the dog bites occurred," he said, referencing the former first family's dog, Major, who had reportedly bitten multiple people. Biden's Team Hid The Truth About His Health All Along: Wh Press Sec Read On The Fox News App "Or about the wedding with the grandkids," he continued. "They got caught lying to the press about press coverage, because they were so scared to be transparent about anything." "I said to myself at some point, 'If it's this hard to get them to just be transparent and disclose things and to just be upfront from the beginning about anything, even the small things… My God, what would happen if there were big things?'" Still, LaRosa said that, even if tapes revealing Biden's cognitive struggles had come forward sooner, it likely wouldn't have been enough for him to have been forced out of the 2024 race article source: Biden family insider exposes culture of concealment in former administration

CNN fires back after ex-Biden aide claims White House pressured network to blacklist him
CNN denied that the Biden administration controlled who it let on its network, after a former Biden aide claimed Wednesday that the White House tried to get him blacklisted from the network for criticizing the administration by putting pressure on CNN not to book him in 2024. "The White House pressured CNN not to ever have me on again," Michael LaRosa, a former aide to First Lady Jill Biden, said Wednesday on Mark Halperin's 2Way podcast Wednesday during a segment discussing how the media "covered up" for President Joe Biden's mental decline. LaRosa, who served as Jill Biden's press secretary from 2021 to 2022, explained how he was allegedly "punished" for being "outspoken" about his former employer after he left the White House in July 2022. "They punish reporters. They threatened access. I was booked 45 times in 2023 on CNN and the White House pressured CNN not to ever have me on again after the turn of the year… I've experienced this stuff now." Former Cnn Analyst Says Media Turned Blind Eye To Biden's Alleged Decline Because Most 'Vote For Democrats' "They threatened CNN with access, and I was noted in their guest tracking system. So, whenever someone wanted to book me, they would see a note or a flag... Look, I had never experienced the media like that until this election cycle," LaRosa continued. "And that's how my personal views about everything and the media and Democrats has somewhat shifted, and it cost me a lot of friends because I've been outspoken as I am." Read On The Fox News App A CNN spokesperson disputed LaRosa's comments in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The White House does not dictate our bookings," they said. Joe And Jill Biden To Run To Friendly Show For First Post-white House Interview. Yes, It's 'The View' A former Biden White House official also told Fox News Digital they were "not aware" of any effort to blacklist LaRosa. A Grabien search of LaRosa's name showed he appeared on the network at least four times in 2024: March 7, 2024, February 25, 2024, February 20, 2024, and February 9, 2024. The former aide frequently knocked the White House for "shielding" President Biden from the public during his 2024 presidential campaign. In March, LaRosa claimed that Biden staffers made "really unethical" demands of the press in an effort to "bully" reporters into covering Biden in a favorable manner. "They did bully a lot of journalists, and I think they would tell you that now. They wouldn't have told you at the time," he said to "The Young Turks" host Cenk Uygur. LaRosa said later on in the 2Way podcast that the Biden White House did not view the press as "an advocate or an ally." "Sometimes I think Democrats in general expect the press to work for them and when they aren't working for them they will come down on you pretty tough… But they never treated the press with anything but suspicion," he added.
