Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis one of the ‘biggest political scandals' in US history
Sky News contributor Kristin Tate weighs in on former US president Joe Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis, raising concerns that the American public may have been misled about his health.
'The media is acting completely shocked, or they were at least for about five minutes after this news broke,' Ms Tate told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
'I just wanted to underscore the point here, there is a real chance that the former president of the United States, Joe Biden, had terminal cancer during his presidency, and we, the American people, were lied to about it for years.
'If this is the case, if they lied about that, this would be one of the biggest political scandals in American history.'

'More punches to come': Bitter feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump predicted to develop even further
A feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has exploded this week, but a US commentator believes there may yet be "more punches to come". A war of words erupted between the pair after Musk, who finished his tenure with the administration overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency, lashed the leader of the free world's signature "big beautiful bill" which would unleash trillions in tax cuts and slash spending. Musk this week hit out, describing the bill as a "disgusting abomination" and criticised those who voted for it after it was passed by the House of Representatives last month. United States President Donald Trump has threatened to cut off government contracts with companies owned by Elon Musk in retaliation. Trump claimed Musk was angry because the bill removed an electric vehicle tax break, introduced by Joe Biden which benefited his company Tesla. Co-host of Steve Bannon's War Room Natalie Winters told Sky News' Rowan Dean she believes there will be 'more punches' to come amid the public arguments between the pair. 'I definitely think this is going to evolve,' Ms Winters said on Friday. 'MAGA diehards, who I think are sort of trying to come to terms and understand where exactly they fall in MAGA diehards overwhelmingly are going to be on President Trump's camp. 'On principle, this bill, Elon is sort of in the right.' Musk continued to attack Trump on social media on Thursday, going as far as alleging the President's name is in the Epstein files. The New York Post's Washington correspondent Diana Glebova said the allegation was a "bombshell" claim but that there may be more to the story than what the public knows. "We don't know the extent that Trump is, of course, involved in these files. They haven't been released, and it is up to the Department of Justice to release them," she told Sky News' Steve Price. "We haven't seen those yet. But the White House said today that Musk's claim was nothing new, that Trump was on the flight logs. But of course we don't the whole story here, so we'll just have to see. "I mean, for Musk to know this information, that would be really interesting if there is something there. Again, the White House is denying that there's a (story) there right now." Glebova said the Democrats would be enjoying the "drama" between Trump and one of his biggest supporters throughout the campaign. She added that Musk would be short on support, having potentially put some Republican supporters offside with his remarks about the President. " I think Democrats are eating this up because, you know, it's drama. It's exciting. And I don't think that many people are supporting Musk right now," she said. He lost a lot of his support from Democrats when he joined Trump on the campaign trail and we saw all those protests against Tesla. You know, he was getting death threats. They were going after his vehicles, like lighting them on fire. "The Republicans were supporting Musk because he was so close to Trump, his right-hand man. But now that Musk has departed from Trump, I mean, I don't know who's supporting him right now."
