Jake Tapper admits he’s been ‘humbled’ after shutting down Lara Trump’s insistence Joe Biden was senile during an infamous interview in 2020.

Tapper made the admission while being grilled by Megyn Kelly on her eponymous SiriusXM show Tuesday, while speaking about his newly released exposé of Biden’s infirmity.

Tapper, a prominent CNN anchor who covered the election, said: ‘Knowing what I know now, obviously I feel tremendous humility about my coverage.

‘That Laura Trump interview for example, she saw some she saw something that I did not see at the time 100 percent and I own that,’ he said, referring to the tense interview with Trump’s daughter-in-law aired on State of the Union in 2020.

Tapper had just aired a clip of Lara pointing to Biden’s tendency to stutter during a conversation about the then-candidate’s ‘cognitive decline’, before shaming her for it.

‘I did ask Joe Biden to be transparent about his health records in an interview in 2020,’ Tapper told Kelly this time around.

‘But then he wasn’t,’ Kelly quipped.

‘No, he wasn’t transparent at all,’ Tapper admitted – before being met with more pressure.

Megyn Kelly clashed with CNN star Jake Tapper on Tuesday after he admitted being complicit in the cover-up over Joe Biden’s declining abilities 

‘He promised you that he would be transparent about his health records and then he wasn’t,’ Kelly pointed out. ‘And when you sat with him again… you didn’t ask him about it.’

Kelly also clashed with Tapper about his inability to confront the former president about his infirmity during a White House press conference.

Devastatingly, Tapper also spoke of how there were two Joe Bidens during his time in office – a ‘functioning Biden’ and a ‘non-functioning Biden.

The CNN host said the collapse of a plea deal offered to Biden’s son Hunter over gun charges in 2023 dramatically worsened the 82 year-old’s mental state. 

Tapper’s new book Original Sin, written with fellow journalist Alex Thompson, details the industrial scale of the cover-up surrounding Biden’s health.

The ruse was finally blown during a disastrous presidential debate against Donald Trump in June 2024, which later saw Biden drop out of the race.  

On Sunday, the former president announced he has an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
