| It’s time to investigate ‘collusion’ to hide the state of Biden’s health – Zakharova | |
| (about 7 hours later) | |
| The US president’s condition dates back years, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has claimed | |
| There needs to be an investigation into a possible conspiracy among American political circles and the media to manipulate the public’s perceptions regarding President Joe Biden’s health, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said. | |
