Two More Biden Advisors Voluntarily Testify on Mental Decline Cover-Up

Two more former White House aides have voluntarily testified about the cover-up of then-President Joe Biden’s mental decline.

The former Biden advisors testified before the GOP-led House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform this week, Breitbart reported.

Former Biden counselor Steve Ricchetti and former senior adviser Mike Donilon have agreed to appear before the committee voluntarily.

The committee, headed by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), is investigating whether there was a concerted effort to keep Biden’s cognitive problems under wraps.

Now that he’s left office, Democrats are stunned that journalists are willing to admit what they saw and how Biden’s staffers closed ranks to protect him.

If his problems were this obvious to the public, it’s nearly impossible for his closest advisers to deny that they knew what was happening.

The committee has called some of them as witnesses, but has had a hard time getting them to testify, including Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who was the White House physician under Biden.

The committee was forced to subpoena O’Connor to get him to speak about Biden’s condition.

\Others, including Biden’s former special assistant, Annie Tomasini, and first lady Jill Biden’s former senior advisor, Anthony Bernal, have asserted their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.

Meanwhile, Biden’s former chief of staff, Ron Klain, said that the president was mentally sharp during his time in the White House.

During his testimony on Wednesday, Ricchetti claimed that Biden was “fully capable of exercising his presidential duties” while in office, The Hill reported.

The news outlet had obtained prepared remarks Ricchetti used for his transcribed interview with the committee.

Ricchetti seemed to deny the obvious fact that Biden was deteriorating in front of everyone’s eyes.

According to the transcription, Ricchetti claimed:

“Let me be clear: At all times during his presidency, I believed that President Biden was fully capable of exercising his Presidential duties and responsibilities, and that he did so.

“Neither I, nor anyone else, usurped President Biden’s constitutional duties, which he faithfully and fully carried out each and every day.”

The former counselor to Biden said there was “certainly no conspiracy to hide the President’s mental condition from the American people” and that he was “not aware of any effort by any member of the White House staff to usurp the President’s authority to make decisions or to sign important documents without his knowledge.”

Ricchetti did concede that Biden had some problems but minimized their impact, saying:

“Did he stumble? Occasionally. Make mistakes?

“Get up on the wrong side of the bed? He did — we all did.

“But I always believed — every day — that he had the capability, character, and judgment to be president of the United States,” Ricchetti claimed.

Predictably, Ricchetti railed against Republicans for orchestrating a witch hunt.

He claimed the committee’s investigation “is part of a concerted effort by the Administration and its congressional allies to diminish the record of the former president by advancing the false narrative that President Biden was mentally unable to perform his constitutional duties and that members of his staff usurped the president’s Article 2 powers.”

According to Fox News, Donilon was expected to appear before the committee after arriving on Thursday morning.

In the past, Donilon defended Biden, including his campaign-ending debate performance in July 2024.

“Now, lots of people have terrible debates,” Donilon said at the time.

“Lots of people have terrible debates,” Donilon claimed.

“Usually, the party doesn’t lose its mind, but that’s what happened here. It melted down.”

Biden stepped down from the presidential race shortly after the botched debate, where he appeared confused, tired, and unable to string together coherent thoughts.

This defense drew criticism even from rabid leftists like David Axelrod, a CNN contributor and former Obama adviser.

Axelrod shared the clip of Donilon’s remarks defending Biden at a Harvard University event, which he simply captioned, “Delusional.”
