Former Top White House Aides to Field Questions on Biden’s Cognitive Decline

Four former staffers in the Joe Biden White House will voluntarily take questions from congressional investigators regarding the apparent cognitive decline of the 46th president. 

The two most prominent White House staffers will be former deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini and Neera Tanden, the former director of the Domestic Policy Council under Biden.

Tanden will meet with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee for a transcribed interview on June 24, according to a committee aide. Tomasini will take questions from the committee on July 18.

On June 26, the committee will hear from Anthony Bernal, former assistant to the president and senior adviser to first lady Jill Biden.

Ashley Williams, the former special assistant to the president and deputy director of Oval Office Operations, will meet with committee members and staff on July 11. 

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has subpoenaed Biden’s White House physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, to appear for a deposition on June 27. 

The Daily Signal previously reported the committee had requested testimony from the five individuals. 

Though Biden is out of office, questions have emerged about his cognitive state while in office, who might have covered it up, and who made decisions if Biden did not. 

Specifically, questions have emerged about the White House’s use of the autopen to sign official proclamations and presidential pardons. 

The former president and first lady and several Biden aides have continuously insisted that the 46th president was entirely alert during his four-year term. Biden has noted in interviews that his administration achieved historic change.

The Oversight Project, a now-independent watchdog group originally created by The Heritage Foundation and not affiliated with the House Oversight Committee, first analyzed the autopen signatures.

President Donald Trump has directed the Justice Department to investigate the autopen matter.
