Overview

• Four former White House aides—Neera Tanden, Anthony Bernal, Ashley Williams and Annie Tomasini—are slated for voluntary transcribed interviews between June 24 and July 18.
• Committee chair James Comer subpoenaed Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, to appear for a deposition on June 27 after he declined a voluntary interview.
• Investigators will assess whether aides covered up signs of Biden’s cognitive decline and handled presidential duties on his behalf.
• The inquiry includes scrutiny of the White House’s use of an autopen to sign presidential proclamations and pardons without Biden’s direct signature.
• The investigation was prompted by revelations in Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s book and by Biden’s recent disclosure of an aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis.
