DALLAS – Today on Fox News’ The Will Cain Show, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) discussed his efforts to get answers on the alleged cover-up of former President Biden’s cognitive decline by the mainstream media, Biden family, and his inner circle, including Sen. Cornyn’s recent letter to the Department of Justice calling for an investigation and an upcoming Senate Judiciary Committee hearing he will lead alongside Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO), as well as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which the Senate is expected to begin processing next week. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyn’s remarks are below, and video can be found here.

On the Upcoming Hearing on the Alleged Cover-Up of Biden’s Decline:

CORNYN: “We need to get past the failures of the media, which were legend as you pointed out, or the political issue of ‘Were you for Biden or against Biden?’ This is about a constitutional crisis, where we basically have a mentally incompetent president who’s not in charge.”

“The question is: Who is in charge? Whose finger is on the nuclear button or has the nuclear codes? Who can declare war? How do we defend the nation when we have basically an absent president? And those are Constitutional issues we need to address and correct.”

CAIN: “You’re not one known for inflammatory language, respectfully, and so when I hear you say today we have a Constitutional crisis and ‘Whose finger was on the nuclear button,’ literally, who was responsible for war and peace is the right, exact question to be asking about what happened in this country.”

CORNYN: “That’s why we’ve asked Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, to look into this to see what federal laws have been violated.”

“Congress’ responsibility is actually bigger than just that. It is to provide oversight and to make sure that there’s more transparency for future presidents so we understand how this happened and how can we prevent it from happening again.”

On Senate Considering the One Big Beautiful Bill:

“We have 53 Republicans, and we need to get to the magic number 51, which means that we’re going to have to get virtually everybody on board. But I think building on what the House has done, in terms of savings—Elon Musk and DOGE have identified incredible examples of egregious misspent taxpayer dollars.”

“Rescissions and the like— there is a lot of work that we can do to build on what the House did and get it to the President.”
