Biden Docs Summoned After Shocking Admission
The House Oversight Committee is turning up the heat. Chairman James Comer has officially summoned President Joe Bidenโs personal doctor and four of his top aides. This comes just days after Biden admitted he has prostate cancer that has already spread to his bones.
Whoโs On The List?
Comer is demanding transcribed interviews with Dr. Kevin OโConnor, Neera Tanden, Anthony Bernal, Annie Tomasini, and Ashley Williams. The Republican-led panel says it wants answers โ or subpoenas will follow.
The committee questions how Biden could have been declared โfit for dutyโ just months ago, despite the president now battling late-stage cancer and displaying what many call clear signs of mental decline.
Accusations Of A Cover-Up
The panel says it is probing the โaccuracy, transparency, and credibilityโ of OโConnorโs February health assessment. That report called Biden a โhealthy, active, robust 81-year-old male.โ Comer wants to know how cancer spreading through the bones could go unnoticed โ or worse, be hidden.
And itโs not just about physical health. Comer accuses OโConnor of possibly helping to cover up Bidenโs cognitive struggles, especially given his longtime personal and financial ties to the Biden family.
Key Aides Face The Spotlight
Bernal, Tomasini, and Williams โ considered Bidenโs inner circle โ are also being dragged into the investigation. GOP lawmakers want to know how much influence they had over the aging president, and whether they acted as gatekeepers or even shields from public scrutiny.
Neera Tanden is also under fire. She led the Domestic Policy Council during the time videos of Bidenโs confusion and verbal slip-ups were dismissed as โcheap fakes.โ The committee wants to know who crafted that narrative โ and why.
White House Stonewalling Wonโt Work
This isnโt the first time Comerโs committee has tried to question Bidenโs aides. The White House ignored subpoenas last year. But with Biden no longer in office, legal protections around executive privilege could start to crumble.
The Oversight Committee is betting that the new revelations โ and Bidenโs own cancer disclosure โ have changed the game.
Bigger Than Just Biden?
Comer isnโt stopping here. The Trump administration has already asked the Supreme Court to lift protections for hundreds of thousands of migrants and is now taking a hard look at alleged misuses of executive power, including possible manipulation of health records for political gain.
For Bidenโs team, the walls may be closing in. The spotlight is on, and the questions are only getting louder.
