Karine Jean-Pierre and Biden Aides Face House Probe Over Alleged Cover-Up

Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is set to face House Oversight Committee investigators in a closed-door session this September, as part of a probe into allegations of a cover-up surrounding President Biden's mental and physical condition during his tenure. This development promises to shed light on some murky corners of the administration’s inner workings.

Alongside Jean-Pierre, three other prominent former Biden aides are slated to appear before the panel in the coming weeks. They include Ian Sams, who served as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor in the White House Counsel’s Office; Andrew Bates, former Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Deputy Press Secretary; and Jeff Zients, former White House Chief of Staff. This lineup suggests the committee is digging deep into the chain of command.

Led by Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), the investigation is zeroing in on claims that Biden’s top aides may have concealed signs of his decline while he was in office. Additionally, there are questions about whether certain executive actions were executed via autopen without the President’s direct involvement or full awareness. While Biden’s allies have staunchly denied these allegations, the President himself recently stated in an interview that he personally made every decision during his term.

As this inquiry unfolds, it’s clear the Oversight Committee is not just chasing shadows but aiming to uncover whether there was a deliberate effort to shield critical information from the public. Stay tuned as more details emerge from behind those closed doors.
