ABC News reports:

The Senate Judiciary subcommittee held a hearing Wednesday digging into the cognitive abilities of former President Joe Biden and claims of whether his aides helped what they say was a cover up of his alleged mental decline — claims the former president and many on his staff have denied. The probe didn’t uncover any new information on the former president — with Democratic members of the subcommittee boycotting the hearing.

Spicer never worked for the Biden administration. Spicer also criticized “legacy media” for questions raised about Trump’s fitness for office in his first term, while he claims they were not questioning Biden the same way.
