Overview

• The Senate Judiciary Committee held the hearing “Unfit to Serve: How the Biden Cover-Up Endangered America and Undermined the Constitution,” with Sen. John Cornyn and Sen. Eric Schmitt cochairing and calling witnesses including Sean Spicer, Theodore Wold and John Harrison.
• Republicans argued that unelected senior aides directed key policy decisions as Biden struggled with routine tasks and accused major news outlets of minimizing his deterioration.
• Top Democrats on the panel, led by Sen. Dick Durbin, delivered brief opening remarks before exiting and declined to call their own witnesses, condemning the probe as politically driven.
• Sen. Eric Schmitt unveiled a whistleblower hotline inviting former White House staff to report information about who managed executive authority while Biden’s health waned.
• House Oversight Committee Republicans have moved to question current and former Biden aides behind closed doors, subpoenaing former White House physician Kevin O’Connor and securing testimony from four senior staffers.
