SCOOP: GOP Pushes for New House Committee to Investigate Biden Alleged Cover-Up Gains Momentum

House Republicans are intensifying efforts to launch a formal investigation into the previous Biden administration, alleging a deliberate concealment of President Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical health issues. On Thursday, Representative Buddy Carter of Georgia introduced a bill seeking to establish a specialized congressional committee tasked with examining what he described as an intentional effort to hide the former president’s declining faculties from the American public.

The proposed select committee, according to the bill's text, would be empowered to “investigate and report upon the facts of President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.’s cognitive and physical health decline and the potential concealment of information from the American public.” The scope of the investigation would extend beyond President Biden, calling for a review of the actions of former Vice President Kamala Harris, former First Lady Jill Biden, and other key aides. Notably, it would also examine the decision-making behind withholding the audio recordings of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Biden.

Recent revelations about Biden’s health—alongside longstanding concerns over his mental acuity during his time in office—have reignited Republican calls for greater transparency. GOP lawmakers argue that individuals in Biden’s inner circle went to great lengths to obscure his condition, citing both new testimonies and previously dismissed allegations.

Carter’s resolution further seeks to investigate allegations that Biden’s allies delayed public disclosure of his prostate cancer diagnosis, which was revealed only last week. In response, a spokesperson for the former president asserted to The New York Times that neither Biden nor his staff attempted to conceal the diagnosis prior to the announcement.

Also under scrutiny is the White House’s use of the autopen—a device that mechanically reproduces the president’s signature—on significant pieces of legislation. The resolution specifically calls for an inquiry into whether this practice was used to obscure who was making key decisions and signing important measures during Biden’s presidency.

“This is potentially the biggest political scandal of our lifetime, and the American people deserve to know the truth about who was really running the White House during Biden’s tenure as president,” Carter said in a statement. He argued that an exhaustive investigation is needed to restore trust in government, pointing to concerns ranging from autopen usage to the handling of Biden’s medical disclosures.

Carter, now a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Georgia, has been among the most vocal GOP figures demanding that Biden submit to cognitive testing. In June, he penned a letter to the White House stating, “The American people can no longer be left to wonder about their safety and security because of the President’s deteriorating mental state.”

This latest push follows a parallel investigation launched by House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer of Kentucky, focusing on reports of Biden’s cognitive decline. Comer had previously spearheaded inquiries into the financial dealings of the Biden family, exploring whether the former president and his relatives improperly benefited from foreign sources of income.

Comer has recently sent letters to former senior White House advisers, including Biden’s personal physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor, to determine if staff or others may have taken over decision-making responsibilities or attempted to shield the public from the president's apparent health decline.

Other Republican lawmakers have expressed support for such investigative efforts, with freshman Rep. Jimmy Patronis of Florida issuing his own call on Wednesday for the establishment of a similar select committee. As these investigations gain momentum, they are expected to remain a flashpoint in Congressional debates over transparency, accountability, and political legacy.
