• Chairman James Comer subpoenaed Dr. Kevin O’Connor and former Jill Biden aide Anthony Bernal for depositions on July 9 and July 16 respectively.
• Additional requests have been sent for transcribed interviews with Karine Jean-Pierre, Ian Sams, Andrew Bates and Jeff Zients, though dates have not yet been set.
