    WASHINGTON – The House Oversight Committee is seeking to interview members of former President Joe Biden’s inner circle as Republicans intensify their probe into the final actions of the Biden administration.

    Oversight Chairman James Comer of Kentucky, a Republican, has asked for transcribed interviews with five Biden aides, claiming they were involved in a “cover-up” that he views as “one of the most significant scandals in our country’s history.”

    “These five former top advisors directly observed President Biden’s condition and activities in the Biden White House,” Comer stated. “They need to testify before the House Oversight Committee and provide accurate information regarding President Biden’s cognitive abilities and the decision-making processes that were in place.”

    Interviews were requested with White House senior advisers Mike Donilon and Anita Dunn, former White House chief of staff Ron Klain, former deputy chief of staff Bruce Reed and Steve Ricchetti, a former counselor to the president.

    Comer reiterated his call for Biden’s physician, Kevin O’Connor, and former senior White House aides Annie Tomasini, Anthony Bernal, Ashley Williams and Neera Tanden to appear before the committee. He warned subpoenas would be issued this week if they refuse to schedule voluntary interviews.

    “I think that people will start coming in the next two weeks,” Comer told reporters. He added that the committee would release a report with its findings “and we’ll release the transcribed interviews, so it’ll be very transparent.”

    Democrats have dismissed the effort as a distraction.

    “Chairman Comer had his big shot in the last Congress to impeach Joe Biden and it was, of course, a spectacular flop,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin, the Maryland Democrat who served as the ranking member on the oversight committee in the previous Congress. “And now he’s just living off of a spent dream. It’s over. And he should give up the whole thing.”

    Republicans on the committee are eager to pursue the investigation.

    “The American people didn’t elect a bureaucracy to run the country,” said Rep. Brandon Gill, a freshman Republican from Texas. “I think that the American people deserve to know the truth and they want to know the truth of what happened.”

    The Republican inquiry so far has focused on the final executive actions of Biden’s administration, which included the issuing of new federal rules and presidential pardons that they claim may be invalid.

    Comer cited the book “Original Sin” by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson, which details concerns and debates inside the White House and Democratic Party over Biden’s mental state and age.

    In the book, Tapper and Thompson wrote, “Five people were running the country, and Joe Biden was at best a senior member of the board.”

    Biden and members of his family have vigorously denied the book’s claims.

    “This book is political fairy smut for the permanent, professional chattering class,” said Naomi Biden, the former president’s granddaughter.

    Biden withdrew from the presidential race last summer after a debate against Trump in which he appeared to lose his train of thought multiple times, muttered inaudible answers and misnamed different government programs.

    The disastrous debate performance pushed questions about his age and mental acuity to the forefront, ultimately leading Biden to withdraw from the presidential race. He was replaced on the ticket by Kamala Harris, who lost the election to President Donald Trump.
