(The Hill) – Former President Clinton said in a Sunday interview that he thought former President Biden was “in good shape” when they spoke recently.

In an interview on “CBS News Sunday Morning,” Clinton said he did not read “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” a book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson. But said he never questioned whether Biden was fit to lead.

“No, I thought he was a good president,” Clinton said. “The only concern I thought he had to deal with was, could anybody do that job until they were 86?”

“And we’d had several long talks,” he continued. “I had never seen him, and walked away thinking he can’t do this anymore. He was always on top of his briefs.”

Clinton also clearly said “no” when asked if he ever noticed signs of cognitive decline.

“So I didn’t know anything about any of this, and I haven’t read the book. I saw President Biden not very long ago, and I thought he was in good shape, but the book didn’t register with me because I never saw him that way.”

On why he didn’t read the book, Clinton suggested it was a distraction, and a way to blame Biden for Trump’s election.

“I didn’t want to because he’s not president anymore, and I think he did a good job,” Clinton said. “And I think we are facing challenges today without precedent in our history, and some people are trying to use this as a way to blame him for the fact that Trump was reelected.”
