Overview

• Steve Ricchetti voluntarily told the committee he always believed President Biden was capable of performing his duties and that no conspiracy existed to mask any cognitive decline.
• Senior adviser Mike Donilon is scheduled to sit for his own voluntary closed-door interview on Thursday.
• Earlier this month, three former White House aides under subpoena—Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Anthony Bernal and Annie Tomasini—invoked their Fifth Amendment right and declined to answer questions.
• Other former officials including Ron Klain, Neera Tanden and Ashley Williams have given voluntary transcribed interviews in which they affirmed Biden’s fitness, though Williams often said she did not recall many details.
• The committee is also scrutinizing questions over the president’s use of an autopen for executive actions and broader issues of executive accountability.
