Overview

  • House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer has requested transcribed interviews with Biden's physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, and four former White House aides regarding Biden's health and decision-making during his presidency.
  • The investigation follows Biden's recent disclosure of advanced prostate cancer and the release of the book 'Original Sin,' which alleges a systematic effort to downplay his cognitive and physical decline.
  • Comer raised concerns about the use of autopen for executive actions and questioned who exercised presidential authority during Biden's reported periods of impairment.
  • Senator Ron Johnson has launched a parallel investigation, sending letters to over two dozen former Biden officials, including Cabinet members, seeking clarity on their knowledge of Biden's health issues.
  • The White House has denied allegations of a cover-up, maintaining that Biden was fit for office, while critics and former insiders debate the transparency of his health disclosures.
