House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a New York Democrat, voiced support for a congressional investigation into the health of President Donald Trump.
Newsweek reached out to the White House for comment via email.
Why It Matters
Trump, who is 79, was the oldest person to become president when he returned to office last January, and while he maintains that he's in perfect health, questions have emerged about his age. A new report from The Wall Street Journal highlighted several of his alleged signs of age, including delicate skin and difficulty hearing.
What To Know
Jeffries, a staunch Trump critic who could become the next House speaker if Democrats retake control of Congress in the November midterm elections, was asked about whether there should be investigations into Trump’s health during an interview with Aaron Parnas. Parnas posted a clip of the interview to X on Friday.

So, let’s say he is a bit hard of hearing. He’s 79. So what? We had Biden who couldn’t complete a sentence, even when reading off a cue card/prompter, tried to shake hand with ghosts, etc.
Don’t you remember, a week before the debate, the media was saying all the footage showing Biden confused was made up footage?
He's thin skinned and doesn't listen to Democrats.
/Dem dog whistle
Media will always be a double standard for conservatives. Let’s not throw a fit in expecting otherwise. 🙄
Where was he when it was obvious that Joe Biden was in the advanced stages of dementia?
Remember, if it weren't for double standards Dems wouldn't have any standards at all.
You know it isn’t going to happen so he’s just flapping his gums.
So tell me-what does it buy him?
For Godsake they already tried this! Remember how they insisted President Trump was so infirm because he had to carefully walk down a slick ramp? These people have NOTHING but endlessly rehashing their old garbage. Like the spoiled brats they are, the Democrats are absolutely wrecking the country because they didn’t get their way.
I know we shouldn’t hate. But can we hate the democrats and their media whores enough?
Funny how concerned with health they were when Joe Carrot was President.
Hakeen the Clown is a thin-skinned POS who has trouble hearing with his head in its usual position - up his posterior.
Emphasis on "his rear"...
A sphincter says what?
if ‘delicate skin’ is a matter for concern, Jeffries should be equally concerned for all our aged Congressional members
what a goofball
And they also pretended that it was perfectly normal, supposedly, for the supposed “sharp as a tack” best president ever to need like a week in hiding to prepare for a debate against supposedly the most incompetent person ever running for office. Then, at the end of the absolute disaster that a bait was for Biden, you still had a bunch of MSM “ journalists” reading the talking points that Biden did great when the whole world saw how far he was gone.
In retrospect, all the demands, the Biden campaign wanted, such as muted microphones, no audience, etc. Came back to bite them. I’m willing to bet many on the inside had drank the Kool-Aid and thought he could actually debate Trump.
Hey Hakeem, aren’t you sick of crawling around on your belly, or can you go even lower?
It amazes me the number of times they just completely swept obvious things, like him unable to finish a sentence. He would literally stop midway through pause for a few seconds, mumble something about anyway, and just move onto some completely random unrelated topic and they acted like that was normal.
Based on his travel and lack of sleep, it would not surprise me if he dozed off.
“...questions have emerged about his age...”
If it is time to question about his age, tell that to these people:

“The Wall Street Journal highlighted several of his alleged signs of age, including delicate skin and difficulty hearing.”
Many people have delicate skin and the Wall Street Journal hasn’t heard anything they’ve been told for 134 years. Neither has Jeffries. Especially the hearing about Biden’s mental decline. Age has nothing to do with what they are saying using Biden as an example. It’s smoke and mirrors.
