July 30, 2025

A top aide to former President Joe Biden is denouncing a Republican investigation of his former boss. Steve Ricchetti, in an appearance Wednesday before the House Oversight Committe,e denounced a Republican investigation into Biden’s health in office as “baseless.” Ricchetti, in a statement to the committee, said Biden was aware of his administration’s actions “at all times,” and he dismissed claims there was a cover-up of his health. The testimony and pushback on the committee’s claims come as the Republican-led probe into Biden’s alleged decline has been ramping up this summer.

House Republicans have subpoenaed a senior aide to former first lady Jill Biden. The subpoena from the House Oversight Committee requires Anthony Bernal to appear for a deposition on July 16.
