Biden family insider Michael LaRosa opened up about the former administration's culture of concealment while speaking to Fox News on Sunday, telling "FOX & Friends Weekend" co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy that the people surrounding the former president during his tenure in the White House were unwilling to be transparent.
"This was a group in the White House who were allergic to transparency, and I'm talking about just in the East Wing," he said. "The very first day walking into the White House, the usher was fired, and I couldn't get reporters straight answers, because nobody would give me straight answers."
LaRosa, who served as press secretary for former first lady Jill Biden from 2021 to 2022, noted that his comments were not intended to suggest whether Biden was fit or unfit for office, as audio obtained by Fox News captures the former president appearing to struggle to remember key details while being pressed on his handling of classified documents.
"What I am suggesting…
it was not intuitive… it was not their style to be transparent about anything. They took days and months to be deliberative, and I'm talking about the small things, about when the dog bites occurred," LaRosa said, referencing the former first family's dog, Major, who had reportedly bitten multiple people.
"Or about the wedding with the grandkids," he continued. "They got caught lying to the press about press coverage, because they were so scared to be transparent about anything.
"I said to myself at some point, 'If it's this hard to get them to just be transparent and disclose things and to just be upfront from the beginning about anything, even the small things… My God, what would happen if there were big things?'"
