Overview

• Oversight Chair James Comer issued subpoenas for Dr. Kevin O’Connor and Anthony Bernal to testify before the committee on July 9 and July 16 after both declined voluntary interviews.
• Comer’s letters to Karine Jean-Pierre, Ian Sams, Andrew Bates and Jeff Zients request closed-door, transcribed interviews in August and September to investigate alleged concealment of Biden’s mental decline.
• The committee has already received voluntary testimony from Neera Tanden and scheduled interviews for Ashley Williams on July 11 and Annie Tomasini on July 18.
• Republican lawmakers argue that executive actions signed via autopen could be invalidated if Biden lacked the capacity to authorize them.
• Democrats on the committee dismiss the investigation as a partisan distraction that has produced no new evidence.
