A top doctor to Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump told the Washington Free Beacon that the prognosis for former President Joe Biden’s metastatic prostate cancer is bleak—and that the former commander in chief might die within a year.
Biden’s office shocked the world last month by revealing that what had been termed a “small nodule” was actually Stage 4 prostate cancer that had spread to his bones.
Representative Ronny Jackson (R., Texas), who served as the president’s physician from 2013 to 2018, told the Free Beacon that Biden may not have much time left.
“This is not my area of specialty, but I have spoken to multiple urologists since this came out, and the general consensus is like, you know, it could be 12 to 18 months,” Jackson said. “Hopefully it’s longer than that, and I hope that they’re able to treat this effectively, and, you know, he lives many, many more years. But it’s far advanced.”
Jackson, who regularly checked both Obama and Trump for the disease, believes Biden may have received a diagnosis long before the May announcement.
“Every year I did an exam for President Obama, and every year that I did an exam for President Trump, I checked the [prostate-specific antigen],” he said. “We screened for prostate cancer. I think there’s a probability here that they knew [Biden] had prostate cancer some time ago and just didn’t tell the American people.”
“Treating prostate cancer with radiation or something like that, it doesn’t require you to be an inpatient,” he said. “I mean, people get that done as outpatients all the time. They go in, they spend a couple hours in the doctor’s office, and they’re released the same day. So, it’s absolutely conceivable that he could have been diagnosed and could have been treated without the American people knowing, if his doctor chose not to say anything and family chose not to say anything.”
“That’s definitely justification to follow him closely, and to continue to screen him every single year, aggressively, for prostate cancer,” Jackson told the Free Beacon.
The situation has become so bad that even former President Barack Obama’s former physician is adding to the questions surrounding Biden.
Jeffrey Kuhlman said Biden’s doctor should have offered him a cognitive test during his final year as president because of his age.
The most recent report by White House physician Kevin O’Connor, released in February 2024, included no mention of neuropsychological testing. Biden was 81 at the time.
“Sometimes those closest to the tree miss the forest,” Kuhlman said of O’Connor, who also expressed that such a test would have given voters a clearer picture of whether Biden was up for another 4 years in the Presidency.

“It shouldn’t be just health, it should be fitness,” Kuhlman said. “Fitness is: Do you have that robust mind, body, spirit that you can do this physically, mentally, emotionally demanding job?”
In a book published last month, journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson created a portrait of a well-meaning but wounded president.
The book, which is based on interviews with dozens of Democratic insiders conducted after the 2024 election, depicts somebody who suffers from forgetfulness, incoherence, and exhaustion.
The book also asserts that O’Connor hesitated to administer a cognitive test to Biden, despite his evaluation by a neurologist for conditions like Parkinson’s disease.
Last week, Biden gave a sarcastic response when reporters asked him about his health and the reason for his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race.
“You can see that I’m mentally incompetent, and I can’t walk, and I can beat the hell out of both of them,” Biden told reporters at a Memorial Day event, apparently referring to Tapper and Thompson.
Breaking: Barack Obama Just Confirmed in Washington, D.C. — Details Emerging
In a development that is quickly drawing attention across the country, Barack Obama has just been confirmed in an announcement made in Washington, D.C., according to early reports. The confirmation, which occurred only moments ago, has sparked widespread interest as officials and observers wait for more details about the situation.
Initial information suggests that the announcement was made during a briefing in the nation’s capital, where officials confirmed the update involving the former president. While the full context of the confirmation is still unfolding, the news has already begun circulating rapidly through political circles and media outlets.
Barack Obama, who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017, remains one of the most influential po
litical figures in modern American politics. Any official confirmation involving him tends to generate immediate public and media attention, both domestically and internationally.
Sources close to the situation say additional statements may be released soon, which could clarify the nature of the confirmation and what it could mean moving forward. Analysts are already speculating about possible implications, though officials have urged the public to wait for verified information.
For now, the announcement from Washington, D.C. marks a developing story. More updates are expected as authorities and representatives provide further details in the coming hours.
In a dramatic new court filing, Ghislaine Maxwell has claimed that at least 25 alleged accomplices connected to Jeffrey Epstein quietly reached “secret settlements” related to abuse allegations — yet were never criminally charged.
The filing, submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that newly discovered evidence reveals previously undisclosed agreements between plaintiff attorneys and multiple men who, according to Maxwell, could be considered co-conspirators in Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation.
“New evidence reveals that there were 25 men with whom the plaintiff lawyers reached secret settlements — that could equally be considered as co-conspirators,” Maxwell wrote in documents filed without the assistance of her legal team.
Maxwell, 63, is currently serving a 20-year federal sentence following her 2021 conviction on sex trafficking charges. In her latest submission, she maintains that prosecutors failed to disclose crucial information that could have altered the outcome of her trial.
“None of these men have been prosecuted and none has been revealed to me,” Maxwell wrote. “Had I known, I would have called them as witnesses.”
She further contends that the alleged concealment of these settlements — along with what she describes as jury bias — deprived her of a fair trial. According to Maxwell, if jurors had been informed of what she characterizes as “collusion” between government officials and civil attorneys, they may have reached a different verdict.
The filing also claims that four former employees of Epstein were referenced in both a prior non-prosecution agreement and the federal indictment he faced before his death in 2019, yet none of those individuals were ultimately charged.
The possibility that additional accomplices remain unidentified has reignited public scrutiny surrounding the Epstein case. Questions persist about whether the names of those who allegedly reached private settlements will ever be fully disclosed — particularly as federal authorities continue reviewing millions of pages of case-related documents.
To date, only Epstein and Maxwell have faced federal criminal charges directly tied to the sex-trafficking network. Others associated with Epstein have confronted civil lawsuits but have denied wrongdoing.
Among the most high-profile figures accused in civil proceedings was Prince Andrew, who was sued by Virginia Giuffre over allegations of sexual abuse when she was a minor. Prince Andrew has consistently denied the claims and later reached a financial settlement without admitting liability.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Justice has confirmed that hundreds of attorneys are reviewing an estimated 5.2 million pages of documents connected to the Epstein investigation. Officials say the review process is complex and requires extensive redactions to protect victims’ identities.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated in December that the review is an “all-hands-on-deck” effort, emphasizing that victim protection remains a top priority even as pressure mounts for greater transparency.
It remains unclear whether the 25 men referenced in Maxwell’s filing negotiated any agreements with federal prosecutors or whether their settlements were strictly civil in nature. Legal experts note that civil settlements do not automatically shield individuals from criminal liability — though non-prosecution agreements can.
Maxwell’s filing is widely viewed as part of her broader legal strategy to challenge her conviction. Whether the court will grant further hearings or consider the alleged new evidence remains to be seen.
The renewed claims have once again thrust the Epstein scandal into the national spotlight, raising persistent questions about accountability, transparency, and whether all those involved in the long-running abuse network have truly been brought to justice.
As document reviews continue and appeals move forward, the case remains one of the most controversial and closely watched criminal sagas in recent American history.
