Comer Seeks Ex-Biden Aides' Testimony in Cover-Up Probe

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has demanded testimony from former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre—who recently left the Democratic Party and announced a forthcoming book—and three other senior aides regarding an alleged cover-up of President Joe Biden's cognitive decline and possible unauthorized executive actions using the autopen. The investigation seeks to determine whether key decisions were made without Biden's knowledge or consent and if staff intentionally concealed his health issues from the public. Comer maintains these aides hold crucial insights into the administration’s decision-making, particularly after Biden's debate performance drew scrutiny. The committee is requesting transcribed interviews from the aides, supplementing testimony already received from other former officials. Subpoenas have been issued to individuals who initially declined to appear. Comer has indicated that if evidence of a coordinated cover-up is found, legislative action may follow.
