Former White House chief of staff Ron Klain has agreed to take questions from congressional investigators probing former President Joe Biden’s apparent cognitive decline, according to an aide with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
The committee is also investigating the potential unauthorized issuance of sweeping pardons and other executive actions.
Klain agreed to a voluntary transcribed interview with the committee on July 24. He’s among several former Biden White House officials who agreed voluntarily to take questions, avoiding a subpoena.
...
A longtime operative in Democrat politics, Klain was Biden’s chief of staff as vice president and later the Ebola virus response coordinator in the Barack Obama White House. Well before that, Klaine was the chief of staff for Vice President Al Gore.
After two other potential witnesses would not agree to take questions from the committee, House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., issued two subpoenas. One was to Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the former White House physician. The other was to Anthony Bernal, former senior adviser to first lady Jill Biden. Both have been compelled to appear this month.
Steve Ricchetti, former counselor to the president, agreed to the same on July 30. The next day, Mike Donilon, former senior adviser to Biden, will take questions.
On Aug. 5, Bruce Reed, former deputy chief of staff for policy, will do a transcribed interview with the committee. On Aug. 7, Anita Dunn, a former senior adviser to the president for communications, will be interviewed.
The committee has been able to get agreements for voluntary transcribed interviews from most former Biden officials.
Last week, the committee asked Biden’s second chief of staff, Jeff Zients, to take questions, along with others.
In the coming week, Ashley Williams, deputy director of Oval Office operations, and Annie Tomasini, former deputy chief of staff, agreed to meet for voluntary transcribed interviews on July 11 and July 18, respectively.

He’ll plead the 5th; nothing to see here.....
The Bidenskyyyys. This should turn into a real joke.
Or he will flat out lie!
There's no penalty for EITHER, in today's judge-shopped venues.
Hey, maybe they should subpoena Biden himself?
If he remembers anything?
Yep. More theater, unfortunately.
Someone like this needs to be brought in last after all the other testimony. So that he can’t lie or say everything was OK.
I would rather he was subpoenaed and had to testify publicly. If he has a transcript-only private hearing he can take the fifth and it will stay very quiet.
I remember during the Clinton Chinese funny money era when there were dozens of witnesses (nearly 100 either pleaded the fifth or fled the countryIIRC) that had their lawyers send a letter to plead the fifth for their clients. The Republicans (the party of collusion) allowed them to do this, thus denying the public the ability to watch these people take the fifth amendment. It also denied any actual America loving Republicans the ability to use a video collage of alleged illegal foreign donors to Clinton taking the fifth amendment.
Put him under oath in a DOJ interview.
Closed door... hidden from the public.
He is a non consequential witness. He has little to testify about from the Biden presidency. He was COS until February 2023. The SHTF in 2024.
EC
Here’s my preview:
* I don’t know
* I don’t remember
* I plead the 5th.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Gee, I forget.
