Jill Biden appeared to give her former president husband Joe a secret signal on The View after co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked a very risky question. Biden, 82, was asked about Democrat insiders saying he'd suffered a sharp cognitive decline during his final year in office and began answering the question.

Now Melania is getting a small taste of her own medicine: Former president George W. Bush is skipping an event she is hosting at the White House on Thursday even though it's about his late mother.
