The U.S. Home Committee on Oversight and Authorities Reform Committee is increasing its investigation into the “cover-up” of former President Joe Biden’s “mental decline.”
U.S. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., despatched letters to 5 former senior Biden White Home aids, “demanding they appear for transcribed interviews.”
Letters have been despatched to Michael Donilon, former senior advisor to the president; Anita Dunn, former senior advisor to the president for communications; Ronald Klain, former chief of workers; Bruce Reed, former deputy chief of workers for coverage; and Steve Ricchetti, former counselor to the president.
Along with the previous president’s reported psychological decline, Comer is in search of solutions on the “potentially unauthorized issuance of sweeping pardons and other executive action.” Critics, together with the Trump administration, have questioned whether or not an autopen was used to signal pardons and presumably different government actions.

There’s debate as as to whether the pardons and actions may very well be voided whether it is confirmed that an autopen was used.
Comer argues the necessity for transparency, calling the “cover-up” a major scandal in American historical past.
“The American people deserve full transparency and the House Oversight Committee is conducting a thorough investigation to provide answers and accountability. The cover-up of President Biden’s mental decline is one of the greatest scandals in our nation’s history. These five former senior advisors were eyewitnesses to President Biden’s condition and operations within the Biden White House. They must appear before the House Oversight Committee and provide truthful answers about President Biden’s cognitive state and who was calling the shots,” mentioned the congressman.
Comer’s give attention to the 5 people stems from a ebook by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, Authentic Sin, which the congressman quoted as claiming, “five people were running the country, and Joe Biden was at best a senior member of the board.”
This isn’t the primary time Comer has subpoenaed key Biden White Home aides. The congressman served Annie Tomasini, Anthony Bernal, and Ashley Williams with subpoenas after claiming the trio “ran interference” for the previous president.

As well as, Comer has requested a transcribed interview with Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s doctor. The congressman claims the “Biden White House obstructed the Committee’s investigation and refused to make the aids available to depositions or interviews.”
The congressman says he “expects the witnesses to voluntarily comply with the investigation.” He added that in the event that they fail to conform to the interview, he’ll difficulty subpoenas “this week to compel their appearance.”
