Former US President Joe Biden continues to travel to Washington by train from his residence in Delaware: in the office he is working on an unknown project, the New York Post newspaper reports, citing sources. According to several former Biden administration officials, the ex-president has been working on the project for several weeks most of the time, but it is not known what exactly he is doing.
A source familiar with Biden's activities after the end of his presidential term suggested that he was working on writing a book, opening a library and his foundation.
Biden, as a former president, is given an office in Washington until July, the publication clarifies. It is paid for by the US Office of General Services.
The U.S. Office of General Services is formed to help manage and support the core functions of the federal government. The Agency provides technological support to many government agencies and manages government real estate.
According to NYP sources, Biden's family faced financial difficulties after he lost his presidential salary of $ 400 thousand.
In mid-May, it became known that Biden had prostate cancer. According to The New York Times, the 82-year-old politician was diagnosed on May 16, after doctors examined him due to complaints of problems with urination and revealed a "small knot" on the prostate. Doctors found that the cancer had acquired an aggressive form and had metastasized to the bones. The Washington Free Beacon wrote that the disease has already developed to the fourth stage.
Former White House physician, now Republican Congressman Ronnie Jackson did not rule out, citing the words of urologists, that Biden had to live from a year to 18 months. The representative of the politician claimed that the form of the disease identified by the ex-president is sensitive to hormones, which makes it possible to treat it effectively.
Biden himself claimed that his organs were not affected by the disease. According to him, he takes one drug for six weeks, after which it is changed to another.
