Ex-Biden adviser to testify amid claims of former president’s cognitive decline
- Neera Tanden, a former senior adviser to President Biden, has agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee on June 24 regarding claims of Biden's cognitive decline.
- The closed-door testimony is part of the Republican-led investigation into Biden's mental acuity and alleged cover-up by his staff.
- Representative James Comer, the committee chairman, has accused Democrats, the media, and the Biden administration of enabling an unfit leader and using "autopens" for blanket pardons.
- Comer had requested Tanden and other former staffers testify and threatened to subpoena those who did not voluntarily comply.
- The testimony follows renewed focus on Biden's mental fitness, with Comer also requesting testimony from other former senior advisers and subpoenaing Biden's physician.
