Overview

  • Anita Dunn appeared Thursday for a closed-door interview with House Oversight investigators
  • Her testimony is the tenth voluntary appearance by a former Biden aide in the ongoing probe of alleged cognitive decline
  • The Republican-led committee is examining whether aides concealed mental decline and substituted autopen signatures on official documents
  • Three former officials—including Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Anthony Bernal and Annie Tomasini—have refused to testify by invoking the Fifth Amendment
  • Chair James Comer has warned that Congress may need new rules on presidential fitness if the inquiry confirms staff concealed the president’s condition
