Karine Jean-Pierre, more top Biden aides to appear in House cover-up probe

Hunter Biden blames Democratic Party’s disloyalty for 2024 election loss

‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ co-host Charlie Hurt discusses the GOP probe of former President Joe Biden's mental decline allegations and alleged use of the autopen on ‘America’s Newsroom.’

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is expected to sit down with House Oversight Committee investigators behind closed doors in September, Fox News Digital has learned.

A House Oversight Committee aide told Fox News Digital that she's one of four high-profile former Biden officials who have scheduled interviews with the panel.

Also expected to appear in the coming weeks are Ian Sams, former Special Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor in the White House Counsel’s Office; Andrew Bates, former Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Deputy Press Secretary; and Jeff Zients, former White House Chief of Staff, the aide said.

Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., is investigating allegations that Biden's former top White House aides covered up signs of his mental and physical decline while in office, and whether any executive actions were commissioned via autopen without the president's full knowledge. Biden allies have pushed back against those claims.

In an interview with The New York Times on Thursday, Biden affirmed he "made every decision" on his own.
