Biden Aides Face Probe Over Alleged Cover-Up of President’s Mental Decline

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is turning up the heat, demanding transcribed interviews with several top aides from former President Joe Biden’s administration. The accusation? They allegedly worked overtime to conceal Biden’s significant mental decline during his presidency. This isn’t just a political jab—it’s a serious claim that’s sparking comparisons to scandals bigger than Watergate.

Comer’s targets include former Domestic Policy Council Director Neera Tanden, Deputy Chief of Staff Annie Tomasini, senior adviser to the first lady Anthony Bernal, and deputy director of Oval Office operations Ashley Williams. He’s also calling on Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, to step into the hot seat. According to Comer, these behind-the-scenes players were running interference, shielding the public from the truth about Biden’s condition.

The probe comes on the heels of Original Sin, a book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson, which pulls back the curtain on frantic efforts to manage perceptions of Biden’s health. Tapper didn’t mince words, suggesting this cover-up could dwarf Nixon’s Watergate in its implications. Comer’s letters to the aides emphasize the need to uncover who was pulling the strings and making critical decisions while Biden’s capacities waned.

Comer isn’t stopping there. He’s hinted at dragging former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, and even Jill and Hunter Biden, into the fray if the trail leads that way. Failure to comply, he warns, will trigger subpoenas. The American public, Comer argues, deserves to know when Biden’s decline began, how severe it was, and who was really running the show.
