Biden Adviser Confirms $8 Million Pay Package in House Fitness Probe

Donilon’s public confirmation of an undisclosed bonus highlights transparency concerns at the center of the GOP-led inquiry into Biden’s campaign stewardship.

Overview

  • Mike Donilon told the House Oversight Committee he received a $4 million salary for Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign and stood to earn a $4 million bonus if the president had won.
  • This marked the first public confirmation of the previously undisclosed bonus, bringing his total potential compensation to $8 million.
  • In his opening statement, Donilon defended Biden’s fitness for office by arguing that normal age-related changes did not diminish the president’s leadership.
  • Republican investigators say the compensation package raises conflict-of-interest concerns and underscores calls for greater campaign finance transparency.
  • The Oversight Committee has interviewed multiple former Biden aides behind closed doors and plans further sessions in September as part of its inquiry.
