BEHIND CLOSED WHITE HOUSE DOORS, SECRETS HAVE BEEN HIDDEN.
A slow, painful death from infection. A debilitating fatal disease. A clandestine cancer surgery. A paralyzing stroke. A dangerous use of addictive drugs. A narrow escape from violent death.
Each time, the White House concealed facts about the president’s health from the public. Lies were told. Cover-ups were orchestrated.
Who told the lies, and why? Who helped hide the truth? Here are the intriguing—and shocking!—stories of White House secrets.
