Biden Spotted With Huge Post-Op Scar As Health Questions Loom
Newly released photos reveal a large scar on former President Joe Biden’s head from a recent skin cancer procedure.
Biden, 82, was seen Saturday leaving St. Joseph’s Church in Delaware after attending Mass.
Unlike the previous week, he appeared without the bandage that had been covering the wound, exposing the prominent mark. The following day, former first lady Jill Biden was spotted heading to a spin class just a few miles away in southeastern Pennsylvania, the New York Post reported.
She was photographed leaving a fitness studio called Cycology wearing a U.S. Virgin Islands souvenir t-shirt reading “Seas the Day,” paired with star-spangled lycra leggings.
Meanwhile, the latest images of Joe Biden suggest his wound is in the process of healing, The Post reported.
The former president has undergone skin cancer surgery before, including during his time in the White House.
After a physical in February 2023, Biden had a cancerous lesion removed from his chest, which was later identified as basal cell carcinoma.

In May, the 46th president revealed that he had been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones and is currently undergoing treatment.
His team has said the cancer “appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management.”
Outside experts say that while the former president’s prostate cancer may be treatable, it is highly unlikely to be fully cured. Evidence suggests the disease went undetected during his time in office.
Medical records show he was not screened for prostate cancer during his presidency, reportedly due to his age. In February 2024, his longtime physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, declared him “fit to serve” following a routine examination.
Later that year, however, Biden came under intense scrutiny over his cognitive health after a widely panned debate performance against President Trump in June 2024.
The Republican-led House Oversight Committee is probing whether Biden’s mental condition was concealed and examining his use of an autopen. The panel has subpoenaed nearly a dozen former administration officials as part of the inquiry.
Meanwhile, internal White House emails uncovered last week revealed concern among aides and Justice Department officials about Biden’s sweeping clemency grants in his final days in office, including uncertainty over whether Biden personally reviewed or approved the specific documents authorizing thousands of pardons and commutations.
The messages, obtained by the New York Post, show that Biden orally approved a plan on Jan. 11, 2025, to commute sentences for inmates serving time on crack cocaine charges. But three warrant documents listing roughly 2,500 recipients were not signed — by autopen — until the morning of Jan. 17, just three days before he left office.
On the evening of Jan. 16, then-White House Staff Secretary Stef Feldman told colleagues she needed confirmation that Biden had consented before she would authorize his autopen signature.
“I’m going to need email … confirming P[resident] signs off on the specific documents when they are ready,” Feldman wrote at 9:16 p.m.
“Michael, thoughts on how to handle this? He doesn’t review the warrants,” she wrote.
Posada responded: “We will just need something … making clear that the documents accurately reflect his decision.”
The mass clemency was announced hours later, at 4:59 a.m. on Jan. 17.
🚨 BREAKING: Biden White House emails seem to confirm Joe Biden himself did NOT review pardons before they were sent to the auto pen

Aides pointed to an earlier attestation from deputy assistant Rosa Po, who wrote that Biden had told multiple officials on Jan. 11 that he wanted to commute sentences for those with “crack-powder sentencing disparities who were determined by DOJ not to have a high likelihood of recidivism.”
It remains unclear whether Biden personally reviewed the final warrant documents before autopen signatures were affixed. In public comments to the New York Times in July, Biden acknowledged the use of autopen, saying it was necessary “because there were a lot of them.”
