This letter follows Chairman Johnson’s requests to former Biden cabinet officials to voluntarily appear for interviews before his Subcommittee to discuss the former president’s mental and physical health. A recent news report indicated that NARA provided “more than 27,000 records” to the White House Counsel’s Office, which is reviewing the effect of the former president’s health on official decisions. “These allegations, which received renewed interest following the publication of a book detailing the former president’s mental and physical decline, raise serious questions about who was making key presidential decisions if the former president was incapable of doing so. One of these key decisions may have involved the presidential power to grant clemency or pardons — a matter that the White House Counsel's Office, among other entities, are currently investigating,” Chairman Johnson wrote. Chairman Johnson requested all records that NARA provided to the White House Counsel's Office referring or relating to former President Biden’s mental or physical health decline, or the alleged coverup. Also requested were communications between White House officials, members of the cabinet, and staff referring or relating to former President Biden’s mental or physical health.
