() House Oversight Chairman James Comer announced late Friday night that he will form a panel within his subcommittee to investigate the “cover up of President Biden’s mental decline.”
He already issued three subpoenas to Biden administration staffers, who Comer accused of interfering between Congress and the former president.
Comer has also requested the full audio interview between special counsel Robert Her and Biden. Axios obtained portions of the audio from October 2023.
The chairman requested an interview with the former White House physician, Kevin O’Conner, who has not been subpoenaed.
“This is one of the greatest scandals of our generation and Americans are demanding answers. Last Congress, we launched an investigation into the cover-up of President Biden’s cognitive decline, but we were met with obstruction by the Biden White House and mockery from Democrats in Congress,” Comer said. “Now that Biden’s top enablers can no longer hide behind the power of the presidency, we’re continuing our investigation to expose the truth.”
Biden’s cognitive state became a focal point of his 2024 presidential campaign before dropping out, leading to the nomination of former Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate.
“There are serious concerns that President Biden lacked the mental capacity to authorize those actions. The American people are done being lied to,” Comer said. “We’re going to bring the truth into the light, and starting next week, those involved in the cover-up will begin to be put on notice.”
