  • Rep. James Comer subpoenaed five Biden aides, including his physician, to investigate alleged cover-ups of Biden’s cognitive decline and determine who was making key decisions.
  • Leaked audio and insider accounts reveal Biden’s memory lapses, incoherence, and possible use of an autopen for executive actions, raising legal and ethical concerns.
  • Biden’s physician, Dr. O’Connor, faces scrutiny over questionable health assessments and financial ties to the Biden family.
  • White House aides Bernal, Tomasini, and Williams allegedly controlled access to Biden and may have made decisions on his behalf.
  • The White House obstructed transparency efforts, dismissing concerns as "cheap fakes," while Comer warns of further legal action if aides refuse to comply.
The American people have been deceived. For years, the Biden administration and its allies in the corporate media dismissed concerns about former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline as "cheap fakes" or partisan attacks. Now, thanks to the relentless efforts of truth-seekers in Congress and alternative media, the dam of deception is breaking. Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, has issued a bold demand for transparency, subpoenaing five of Biden’s closest aides, including his personal physician, to uncover the full extent of the alleged cover-up surrounding the former president’s mental and physical health. The subpoenas, issued on May 22, target Dr. Kevin O’Connor (Biden’s longtime physician), former Domestic Policy Council Director Neera Tanden, and former White House aides Anthony Bernal, Annie Tomasini, and Ashley Williams. Comer has given them until June 18 to provide transcribed interviews, with the threat of further legal action if they refuse. The investigation seeks to answer critical questions: When did Biden’s decline begin? How severe was it? And most alarmingly, who was really making decisions on behalf of the United States while the president struggled to form coherent sentences?

The mounting evidence of Biden's decline

The urgency of Comer’s investigation is underscored by a flood of recent revelations. Leaked audio from Biden’s 2023 interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur exposed long pauses, memory lapses, and incoherent responses. Hur himself described Biden as a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" — a damning assessment from a federal investigator. Meanwhile, explosive new books, including Original Sin by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson, allege that Biden’s inner circle actively concealed his deterioration, with one insider claiming "five people were running the country, and Joe Biden was at best a senior member of the board." Even more troubling are reports that Biden may not have personally signed key executive actions, including controversial pardons, with an autopen used in his stead. "Key executive actions signed by autopen, such as sweeping pardons for the Biden Crime Family, must be examined considering President Biden’s diminished capacity," Comer stated. If Biden lacked the mental clarity to discharge his duties, were these actions legally valid, or were they the work of unelected shadow operators?

A coordinated cover-up?

The White House’s obstruction has only deepened suspicions. During Biden’s presidency, his administration blocked subpoenas for aides’ testimony and suppressed the release of Hur’s interview audio. Now, Comer warns, "Any continued obstruction will be met with swift and decisive action." Dr. O’Connor faces particular scrutiny. Despite Biden’s visible stumbles, O’Connor declared him "a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male" in 2024 in a claim that now seems medically indefensible following Biden’s recent prostate cancer diagnosis. Comer’s letter to O’Connor questions whether his financial ties to the Biden family influenced his assessments, demanding answers on "if you contributed to an effort to hide former President Biden’s fitness to serve from the American people.” The subpoenaed aides — Bernal, Tomasini, and Williams — were central to Biden’s daily operations. Reports suggest they routinely interpreted Biden’s "wishes" for other staffers, raising concerns about whether they were conveying his actual intent or making decisions for him. Bernal, a top aide to Jill Biden, allegedly wielded outsized influence, while Tomasini and Williams controlled access to the Oval Office. Were these individuals propping up a failing presidency to protect their own power? Neera Tanden, known for her combative defense of the administration, now must explain her role in dismissing concerns about Biden’s health as political smears. The White House’s aggressive push to label videos of Biden’s confusion as "cheap fakes" suggests a deliberate campaign to mislead the public.

Americans have a right to know who is running the country

This investigation is about more than Biden’s health. It’s about the integrity of the presidency and the American people’s right to know who is governing them. If Biden’s decline was severe enough to require a shadow cabinet, the implications are staggering. Every policy decision, every executive order, and every national security directive from that period must be re-examined. Comer’s subpoenas are a crucial step toward uncovering the truth, but the battle won’t be easy. The Biden White House has already shown it will fight admitting the truth at every turn.
