House Oversight, Led by Comer, Subpoenas Biden Aides Over Cognitive Health, Classified Documents

Jul 10, 2024, 10:37 PM

The House Oversight Committee, led by James Comer, has issued subpoenas to three of President Joe Biden's top aides, demanding they testify about his cognitive health and mishandling of classified documents. This move follows concerns raised by Republican lawmakers about Biden's mental fitness, particularly after a recent debate performance deemed 'disastrous.' The subpoenaed staff members include Ashley Williams, Special Assistant to the President and Deputy. The committee aims to address allegations that these aides are concealing the 81-year-old president's declining cognitive state. This development adds to the scrutiny on Biden's health, with some lawmakers also requesting his doctor's testimony on Capitol Hill.
