Overview

  • The House Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, has formally requested interviews with Biden's former physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor and four senior aides, warning of potential subpoenas for noncompliance.
  • The investigation focuses on allegations of a cover-up of Biden's cognitive and physical decline during his presidency, as detailed in Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's new book, 'Original Sin.'
  • Biden's recent disclosure of an aggressive, metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis has heightened scrutiny of his medical assessments and transparency while in office.
  • The probe also examines Biden's use of an autopen for official documents, raising questions about who was executing presidential duties during his term.
  • The White House has denied any cover-up, with former Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reiterating that Biden remained fit to serve, despite mounting insider accounts and media revelations suggesting otherwise.
