Capitol Hill Targets Inner Biden Circle Over Autopen Scandal and Mental Health Cover-Up
The House Oversight Committee is intensifying its investigation into a potential cover-up surrounding Joe Biden’s mental fitness during his presidency, with Chairman James Comer signaling that Jill Biden and Hunter Biden may soon be subpoenaed to testify under oath.
At the heart of the probe: mounting evidence that White House insiders may have concealed President Biden’s cognitive decline from the American public—while relying on the autopen to issue executive orders and pardons, some of which remain under legal challenge.
Autopen Scandal Sparks Fresh Subpoena Threats
Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s longtime personal physician, has been called to testify alongside four senior administration officials. If they refuse, subpoenas are reportedly already in motion.
“Congress is not going to allow this scandal to be swept under the rug,” Chairman Comer told Fox News. “If the trail leads us to the next step—which many believe is Jill Biden and Hunter Biden—then we will go there.”
The committee’s deadline for voluntary cooperation is Thursday. Should the witnesses decline, the next phase could result in high-profile subpoenas for the former First Lady and the President’s son.
Cover-Up Allegations Reach the Highest Levels
Republican lawmakers believe a coordinated effort may have been made to shield President Biden’s declining mental capacity from public scrutiny, especially in his final months in office.
The use of the autopen—typically reserved for routine signatures—has now become a constitutional flashpoint, with critics alleging it was exploited to bypass the President’s diminished state and push through critical documents without public knowledge or proper oversight.
Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre may also be called to testify, as investigators zero in on who within the administration knew about Biden’s condition—and for how long they kept it quiet.
National Reckoning Over Presidential Competency
While speculation about Biden’s mental acuity has been long-standing, the Oversight Committee’s latest move elevates the controversy to a new level. Should Jill Biden and Hunter Biden be brought before Congress, it would mark a historic moment: the interrogation of a President’s immediate family in connection to a cover-up of medical incapacitation.
This developing scandal could reshape how America evaluates presidential health transparency, and whether power was being exercised by unelected figures behind the scenes during Biden’s final months.
