Senator John Cornyn is calling for an investigation into those close to former President Joe Biden for potentially misleading the public on his health while in office.

Cornyn sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging the Department of Justice to open an investigation into what he called any potential violations of federal law surrounding the representations made to the American people about the health and well-being of then-President Biden.

"I am concerned that during his time in office, President Biden's associates, including his doctor, made misrepresentations or material omissions about the status of his health and the existence of any medical conditions, mental and physical," Cornyn wrote.

There are new reports in a book released this week by CNN's Jake Tapper with numerous reports of those around the former president stunned at his apparent decline in the final two years in office.

"I do not have confidence in the former president's aides and staff, including medical staff, or their ability to be honest and straightfoward about President Biden's cancer diagnosis," Cornyn wrote.

Biden's office released a statement days ago that the former president was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
