Longtime Biden aide to testify in Republican probe of former president’s mental decline
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AUG 7 – Anita Dunn is the tenth former Biden aide to testify in a probe examining claims of cognitive decline and cover-up efforts within the former president's inner circle.
- Veteran Democratic operative Anita Dunn will testify on Thursday, Aug. 7, 2025, before the House Oversight Committee investigating President Joe Biden’s mental fitness.
- Earlier this year, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer summoned Dunn to probe what the White House knew about Biden’s mental acuity, with recent weeks seeing interviews of top aides.
- Dunn arrived shortly before 10 a.m., appeared voluntarily for a transcribed interview, and could not invoke the Fifth Amendment, with the session expected to last several hours into the afternoon.
- In the coming weeks, the House Oversight Committee will conduct additional interviews and issue subpoenas, as Republicans weigh potential legislative reforms or referrals, Comer said.
- During the `John Solomon Reports` podcast, Biggs said, `Joe Biden was a wanderer in the White House`, while three of nine officials invoked the Fifth Amendment and six aides defended Biden’s mental acuity.
