Penguin Press to Publish Biden Exposé by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson

Feb 26, 2025

Penguin Press will publish a new book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. Scott Moyers, VP and publisher at Penguin Press, acquired rights from Sloan Harris at CAA and Matt Latimer at Javelin. The book, by CNN’s lead DC anchor and chief Washington correspondent and Axios’s national political correspondent (and CNN contributor), respectively,  offers "an unflinching and explosive reckoning with one of the most fateful decisions in American political history,” the publisher said: “Joe Biden’s run for reelection despite evidence of his serious decline—amid desperate efforts to hide the extent of that deterioration." Publication is set for May 20.
