Marco Rubio addresses concerns over Donald Trump's cognitive health during House hearing

During a session of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended President Donald Trump's cognitive health. Democratic Representative Ted Lieu questioned the President's capabilities, presenting video footage that appeared to show Trump sleeping during meetings. Lieu characterized the situation as problematic and criticized the current administration's internal dynamics. Rubio dismissed these concerns as absurd and ridiculous, asserting that Trump works long hours daily without cognitive impairment. The Secretary of State emphasized that his role includes advising the President on national security matters. Representative Lieu rejected Rubio's defense, accusing him of dishonesty. The exchange took place amid discussions regarding critical foreign policy decisions. No formal investigation into the President's health was initiated as a result of this hearing.
