Overview

  • House Republicans introduced a resolution to create a select committee to probe claims that Biden’s inner circle concealed his cognitive decline, suppressed his prostate cancer diagnosis and used an autopen to sign key documents.
  • Oversight Committee Chair James Comer has requested interviews with Dr. Kevin O’Connor and several former White House aides to investigate whether they ran interference for Biden and approved autopen signatures.
  • Senate Republicans led by Sens. Ron Johnson, Eric Schmitt and John Cornyn have sought testimony from Cabinet officials and Vice President Kamala Harris on the decision-making that may have obscured the president’s health.
  • White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said former First Lady Jill Biden was complicit in the concealment and called on Congress to compel her to testify.
  • The probes are driven by new accounts in the book "Original Sin" and raised urgency after Biden disclosed an aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis on May 18.
