Anita Dunn and Ron Klain testify in House Oversight probe of decisions not to seek cognitive testing

RKRon Klain gave a closed-door interview to House Oversight staff on Jul. 24, 2025.

ADAnita Dunn testified in a voluntary, closed-door session on Aug. 7, 2025 and told investigators that Biden's aides discussed, and arrived at a decision against, administering a cognitive test to the president. Reporting cites anonymous sources familiar with the interview.

DKDr. Kevin O'Connor declined to answer multiple questions and invoked legal protections, including the Fifth Amendment, during his deposition in Jul. 2025.

ABAnthony Bernal and ATAnnie Tomasini each invoked their Fifth Amendment rights during committee subpoenas or depositions, according to reporting in mid-Jul. 2025.

Several outlets report the committee probed the White House's use of an autopen to execute documents. The committee has questioned whether the autopen was used more broadly than standard practice, but public reporting does not show a judicial finding that autopen use violated law.

Press accounts say the White House team considered avoiding a 2024 Super Bowl interview. Some sources say that concern related to special counsel Robert Hur's report; others say the decision happened before the report's release.
