Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden: Clean Bill of Health

Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden has skipped public events since late summer but told the Wilmington News Journal that his doctors have given him a clean bill of health.

He said that his health has not limited his ability to work full time.

He talked with the paper by ;hone this week from the Modern Maturity Center in Dover when he went to visit a workshop for homeowners facing foreclosure organized by the Justice Department.

These were the first public comments on his health since seeking treatment for a medical condition at a prominent Houston, Texas cancer hospital in August.

Questions were raised in the recent book “Double Down” about the 2012 election in which the authors wrote that what was described as a minor stroke was in fact – in the words of the book “life-threaten” and raised questions about how full his recovery would be.

The authors write that Biden “suffered partial paralysis for months.”
