Overview
- Newly released Oversight Committee footage shows Mike Donilon testifying he would have received a $4 million bonus if Joe Biden won in 2024, on top of roughly $4 million in campaign pay.
- The video was published alongside a roughly 100-page Republican report alleging Biden’s inner circle concealed his decline and improperly used the autopen for executive actions.
- Chairman James Comer urged the Justice Department to review autopen-authorized actions and argued those actions should be considered void.
- A Biden spokesperson called the investigation baseless and said Biden made the decisions of his presidency, rejecting claims of a conspiracy, cover-up, or wrongdoing.
- Donilon described the compensation as a fair agreement, defended Biden’s capacity at the time, and said he ultimately advised withdrawal late in the race; Axios first reported the potential bonus in July before the committee posted the video.
