A senior Department of Justice official has suggested former first lady Jill Biden should face criminal charges for “elder abuse” for not revealing what she knew about her husband’s health problems.

Leo Terrell, a senior counselor to the assistant attorney general for civil rights, made the call soon after news broke that former President Joe Biden had been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, which many suggested may have been hidden, like his cognitive decline.

Terrell responded to an X post that said Jill Biden “knew about President Biden’s health problems” but “still wanted him to run for President.”

“Elder abuse! Criminal charges??” Terrell wrote.

Terrell also reposted a number of similar reactions to his about Jill Biden’s supposed neglect.

“Elder abuse is a form of domestic violence and Dr Biden has a lot of explaining to do about her part in defrauding the American people and taxpayers,” one of the posts on X that he reshared read. “I would never wish Joe Biden physical harm despite my personal political views; too bad his own family compromised his well-being.”

“His medical team should have caught this years ago! Shame on Jill & all who turned their heads & ignored this! They indeed are guilty of elder abuse & if they have him go thru [sic] any medical procedure now, radiation or chemo, they should be shot! But they wanted the attention & status at any cost,” was one of the more pungent responses that Terrell shared on X.
