Joe Biden may no longer be president, but he’s still ruining Democrats’ reputations. Now it’s just getting sad.
Because Biden officials are being forced to testify for a terrifying crime.
House Probes Alleged Biden Cover-Up of Mental Decline
The House Oversight Committee is diving into a contentious investigation this week, grilling two former Biden administration insiders as Republicans dig into claims that top aides concealed ex-President Joe Biden’s mental decline during his tenure.
The probe, led with a sharp focus, targets the inner workings of Biden’s White House, raising questions about transparency that some argue were conveniently ignored under his leadership. On Tuesday, former Domestic Policy Council Director Neera Tanden will face the committee, followed by former Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to the First Lady Anthony Bernthal on Thursday.
The investigation isn’t stopping there. The committee has lined up interviews with former officials Annie Tomasini and Ashley Williams, while pushing to question heavyweights like former Chief of Staff Ron Klain and former Senior Advisor for Communications Anita Dunn.
Even Biden’s former doctor, Kevin O’Connor, is slated to sit with investigators in July.
This broad net suggests a deep dive into what Republicans see as a troubling pattern of secrecy, a stark contrast to the accountability they claim Biden’s team dodged.
Trump Steps In as Biden Deflects Criticism
Adding fuel to the fire, President Donald Trump has directed the Department of Justice to launch its own probe into the allegations, tasking Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House counsel David Warrington with leading the effort.
This move signals a proactive stance to uncover the truth, a refreshing change from what critics call the Biden administration’s sluggish response to mounting concerns. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., is driving the charge, investigating whether Biden’s closest aides colluded to mask his declining mental acuity and bypassed him on critical orders.
“Among the questions House investigators are expected to have is whether any Biden officials used the autopen to authorize executive actions without the president’s permission,” sources note, hinting at potential irregularities that could undermine Biden’s claim of full control.
Biden, however, brushed off the scrutiny, insisting, “I was the only one who ‘made the decisions’ during my presidency and called Trump’s efforts a ‘distraction.’”
His defensive retort has done little to quell the growing skepticism, with some seeing it as a weak attempt to sidestep accountability for what may have been a mismanaged administration.
Closed-Door Strategy Aims for Unfiltered Truth
The interviews are unfolding behind closed doors, a deliberate choice by Comer to extract candid details without the circus of public hearings. Transcripts will be recorded and likely released later, offering a window into the administration’s operations. Comer defended this approach to Fox News Digital, saying, “I’ve studied history, there’s never been a committee hearing that did what it’s supposed to do.”
“But these depositions and interviews, do. You’ve got one hour, you’re not interrupted, you don’t have to go five minutes back and forth. So to extract information, we’re going to go with the interviews. We could have a hearing later on, but right now, I think we can get more done quicker with interviews,” he explained.
This methodical tactic contrasts with what critics portray as the Biden team’s reliance on public spin, suggesting a more effective path to uncover any missteps. As the investigation unfolds, it promises to shed light on a presidency some argue was propped up by aides rather than led with clarity.
