House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is significantly escalating his investigation into what he describes as a coordinated “cover-up” of former President Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline.
The powerful Republican is now calling on five more high-ranking former White House officials to testify under oath.
Comer’s move signals growing concern among lawmakers that top aides may have quietly seized executive power.
Such efforts were shielding the American people from the reality of Biden’s diminishing capacity behind closed doors.
In new letters sent to five former senior staff, Comer wrote:
“The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating the role of former senior White House officials in possibly usurping authority from former President Joe Biden and the ramifications of a White House staff intent on hiding his rapidly worsening mental and physical faculties.”
Among those newly targeted are Biden’s former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, longtime Biden confidant Anita Dunn, top advisors Michael Donilon and Steve Ricchetti, and former Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Bruce Reed.
This latest push brings the total number of Biden insiders under scrutiny to ten.
“The Committee seeks to understand who made key decisions and exercised the powers of the executive branch during the previous administration, possibly without former President Biden’s consent,” Comer warned, raising the specter of a constitutional crisis in the making.
In a letter to Klain, Comer cited a Politico report indicating that Biden’s 2024 debate prep with Trump had to be cut short due to fatigue and confusion.
Klain reportedly admitted Biden “didn’t really understand what his argument was on inflation.”
“The scope of your responsibilities—both official and otherwise—and personal interactions within the Oval Office cannot go without investigation,” Comer added.
The letter to Dunn was even more direct:
“Former President Biden confided in you extensively over the past decade.
“The Committee seeks to understand your observations of former President Biden’s mental acuity and health as one of his closest advisors.”
“If White House staff carried out a strategy lasting months or even years to hide the chief executive’s condition—or to perform his duties—Congress may need to consider a legislative response,” the letter said.
Comer told Fox News that closed-door, transcribed interviews are the most effective way to extract the truth.
“You’ve got one hour, you’re not interrupted, you don’t have to go five minutes back and forth,” he said.
“So to extract information, we’re going to go with the interviews.”
Comer previously sought testimony from Biden’s former physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, and four more White House aides, including Neera Tanden and Annie Tomasini.
The committee expects cooperation, but subpoenas are not off the table.
As questions grow louder about who was truly running the country during Biden’s term, Comer’s investigation may soon peel back the curtain on a presidency many believe was propped up from within.
