US EditionFormer aide set to testify in GOP probe about Biden’s mental fitness for office
Ian Sams is voluntarily cooperating with the GOP-led investigation into allegations of a cover-up concerning President Biden's mental fitness and the authorization of pardons during his term.
- On Thursday, Ian Sams voluntarily testified in a closed-door interview before the House Oversight Committee, arriving at the Rayburn House Office Building and declining to answer reporters; he is the eighth of 11 scheduled interviews.
- Republicans focused on autopen and sweeping clemency orders as House Oversight Chair James Comer launched an inquiry into alleged autopen use and internal DOJ emails warning about over 2,500 clemency candidates.
- Sams acknowledged limited interaction with President Joe Biden—two in-person meetings, one virtual meeting, and one phone call—yet acted as a public defender amid GOP scrutiny.
- Comer has expanded closed-door interviews with top aides and subpoenaed witnesses, some invoking the Fifth Amendment; he warned Congress may consider legislative responses if staff concealed presidential decision-making.
- The testimony follows revelations earlier this week about internal DOJ warnings President Joe Biden ignored regarding his mass clemency grants, while Biden said he `made every decision`.
