Ashley Biden Files For Divorce From Husband After 13 Years
Ashley Biden, the daughter of former President Joe Biden, has filed for divorce from her plastic surgeon husband, Dr. Howard Krein, after over 13 years of marriage, according to court records.
The 44-year-old ex-first daughter filed the paperwork in Philadelphia’s Court of Common Pleas on Monday, according to The Post.
Biden’s Instagram post on the same day showed a photo of her walking through a park and flashing a thumbs up, set to the tune “Freedom” by Beyoncé.
She also posted a quote that read, “New life, new beginnings, means new boundaries. New ways of being that won’t look or sound like they did before.”
The cause of the separation was not immediately obvious. Divorce records are not made public in Philadelphia. Two years after her late older brother, Beau Biden, introduced them, Biden and Krein tied the knot in Greenville, Delaware, in June 2012.
Ashley acknowledged her wedding on the national stage while presenting her father at the Democratic National Convention last year.
“At the time, my dad was vice president, but he was also that dad who literally set up the entire reception. He was riding around in his John Deere 4-wheeler, fixing the place settings, arranging the plants, and by the way, he was very emotional,” she told the crowd.
Joe Biden himself is also facing brutal news this week.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer says his investigation into Joe Biden’s mental decline could be used to challenge some of the former president’s pardons and executive orders, arguing staff have failed to prove Biden knew what he was signing in his final months in office.
The Kentucky Republican told “Just the News” that Biden’s frequent use of the autopen raises serious legal concerns.
“It’s questionable whether or not it’s legal to use an autopen on a legal document, but what’s not questionable is if the President of the United States had no idea what was being signed with using the autopen in his name,” Comer said. “Then, you know, that’s not legal. We could see criminal charges against some.”
Comer said his committee’s evidence could also be used to call into question some of Biden’s clemency acts, noting that the president’s poor summer 2024 debate performance “gave rise to questions about his mental capacity.”
Biden dropped out of the race one month later and endorsed Kamala Harris.
“I think at the end of the day, our investigation … could be used as evidence in trying to overturn some of those pardons and some of the executive orders, because the autopen was used so frequently … after that debate,” Comer said.
Former Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz told Just the News in March that such challenges would “end up in court.” He explained there would be two main issues: “One, the nature of what was signed – was it a pardon, or was it a bill from Congress, for example. And second, the nature of the autopen.”
Dershowitz said the Constitution states of bills: “‘If he approves, he shall sign it.’ So it says, ‘sign it.’ Sign it. So an autopen would raise a real problem if he signed it by autopen, which is not a real signature.”
On pardons, he said, “it will still raise the issue: Did he actually pardon? Or did somebody else just write the signature without really getting approval from President Biden?”
Biden’s first debate of the 2024 campaign season was described as “halting” and “disoriented,” with former Obama adviser David Axelrod saying, “I think there was a sense of shock actually, how he came out at the beginning of this debate… I think the panic had set in.”
Republicans had long questioned Biden’s mental capacity.
Special Counsel Robert Hur’s February 2025 report on Biden’s handling of classified documents noted he “would likely present himself… as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Hur said Biden could not recall the years he was vice president or the year his son Beau died.
Last month, Biden defended his decisions regarding pardons to The New York Times, stating, “I made every decision” on pardons; however, aides confirmed that he “did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons.”
President Trump has to stop live speech as he rushed from podium after ‘medical emergency’
BREAKING: Trump Abruptly Halts Speech After Sudden Medical Emergency Inside White House
Washington, D.C. — What began as a routine national security briefing quickly turned into a moment of confusion and concern that left both the press and the public searching for answers.
President Donald Trump was in the middle of delivering remarks on rising global tensions, including warnings about Iran and nuclear threats, when the atmosphere in the room shifted dramatically. Witnesses describe a sudden break in focus—an interruption that escalated within seconds into what appeared to be a medical emergency.
Before most viewers at home could fully grasp what was happening, the live broadcast abruptly cut to black.
A Sudden Turn Behind Closed Doors
According to individuals present in the room, confusion spread rapidly. A child reportedly collapsed, triggering immediate alarm among those nearby. Among the first to react was Mehmet Oz, who moved swiftly toward the scene.
Observers noted that his response was immediate and instinctive—less that of a public figure, and more that of a concerned parent and trained physician. His wife, visibly shaken, added to the intensity of the moment unfolding just feet away from the podium.
At nearly the same time, Karoline Leavitt issued a firm directive to clear the room. Reporters were quickly ushered out, cutting off any chance for immediate clarification.
Silence Replaces Answers
Within moments, the press conference was officially terminated. No explanation was offered. No follow-up briefing was announced.
The abrupt end left a void—both in the room and across the nation. Viewers were left staring at blank screens, while journalists scrambled for details that, as of now, remain unconfirmed.
A Human Moment in a High-Stakes Setting
What makes the incident particularly striking is where it occurred: inside one of the most secure and controlled environments in the world. The Oval Office is typically a place of calculated messaging and strict protocol. Yet in this instance, those layers of control appeared to dissolve in an instant.The contrast was stark. Just seconds earlier, the focus had been on geopolitical threats and national defense. Suddenly, the narrative shifted to something far more immediate and personal—a family crisis unfolding in real time.
What Happens Next?
As of now, the White House has not released an official statement clarifying the nature of the emergency or the condition of those involved.
Until more information emerges, the public is left piecing together fragments:
A speech interrupted mid-sentence
A rushed response from a doctor and parent
A distressed family at the center of attention
And a room cleared with urgency and silence
In Washington, where every moment is usually scripted and controlled, this unexpected incident serves as a stark reminder: even at the highest levels of power, unpredictability can take over without warning.
