Former Biden aides agree to testify in House GOP probe

Four ex-staffers to former President Biden have agreed to testify to the House Oversight Committee as part of a Republican investigation into the president's mental acuity.Why it matters: The aides will be under oath in closed-door interviews as Republicans try to pin them down with questions about alleged efforts to cover up the state of Biden's health.Driving the news: Neera Tanden, who served as director of the Domestic Policy Council, will be first with an interview on June 24, according to an Oversight Committee aide.Anthony Bernal, a former senior adviser to ex-First Lady Jill Biden, will testify on June 26, and former special assistant to the president Ashley Williams will go in on July 11, the aide said.Finally, former White House deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini will sit for her interview on July 18.Zoom in: Kevin O'Connor, Biden's personal physician, was subpoenaed by the panel last week after he refused to comply with their request for a voluntary interview.The panel has also requested interviews with former chief of staff Ron Klain, senior advisers Anita Dunn and Mike Donilon, deputy chief of staff Bruce Reed and counselor Steve Ricchetti.Most of the aides were referenced in a new book by Axios' Alex Thompson and CNN's Jake Tapper, "Original Sin," which chronicles the strenuous effort Biden's inner circle took to conceal his condition.
