4 Biden staffers lawyer up amid autopen House probe

Four Biden staffers have until the end of the day Thursday to respond to the House Oversights

Committee's request for an interview in its investigation over former President Joe Biden's

use of the auto pin. And now the head of that committee says he's open to bringing in Biden

himself to testify. There could soon be movement in the House investigation into Biden's use of the

auto pin, a device which replicates a person's signature. House Oversight Committee Chairman

James Comer saying the investigation will look into whether Biden staffers were using an auto

pin to sign executive orders and pardons the president handed out before leaving the White

House without the president's knowledge. The investigation centers around Biden's cognitive abilities, with Comer suggesting a cover-up from within the White House over his mental and

physical condition. The Biden White House has denied the allegations. First to receive requests

for an interview were four Biden staffers described by Comer as largely behind-the-scenes people

who he claims could have been serving as de facto presidents. A former director of the Domestic

Policy Council, a former assistant to Biden, a former senior advisor to the First Lady Jill Biden

and a former deputy director of operations. Comer also sent a letter to Biden's physician, Kevin O'Connor

According to the latest information as of this recording, lawyers for the four staffers have responded to the House committee

but have not scheduled interviews. Comer says they have not received any response from O'Connor

but also told Fox News Wednesday subpoenas will be sent if interviews are not voluntarily set up

So what I can tell you tonight is the four staffers that we asked to come in for transcribed interviews they have all loggered up They are taking this very seriously and this is going to be a battle to get to the

truth. Comer also told Hannity he would love to ask Biden questions, also saying it's a much

larger task to bring in former presidents, noting the last Congress tried to get President Trump to

testify. And look, I would love to ask Joe Biden a lot of questions, but right now we're starting

with the staffers who are operating the autopend. We're going to bring the physician, Dr. O'Connor

in because he definitely was not telling the truth about Joe Biden's health

A slew of new books being released have a similar theme, largely anonymous Biden White

House insiders suggesting there was some form of a cover-up of Biden's mental fitness

According to a new book by CNN's Jake Tapper, one person who is said to be familiar with the

internal dynamic at the White House said five people were running the country and Joe Biden

was at best a senior member of the board. This week, Tapper told Piers Morgan that Biden White

House staffers hiding his condition could be even worse than Watergate. It is a scandal. Yes, it is

It is. It is. It is. It is without question and maybe even worse than Watergate in some ways

Right. These same four staffers were previously asked to testify last year regarding the same investigation along with Biden's doctor

The Comer says the White House denied Congress access to the staffers, denying any claims Biden was in a cognitive decline or that there was misuse of the auto pin

Comer says the committee will issue subpoenas next for those who receive requests for interviews and that future requests could be sent to others in the Biden White House soon
