Well, the moment of truth has finally arrived, and I’ve got to say, it feels a lot like we’ve all been strung along for nothing. Former Biden chief of staff Jeff Zients showed up on Capitol Hill on Thursday for what’s being called the final interview in the House Oversight Committee’s probe into whether former President Joe Biden was mentally capable of making decisions. This entire investigation has been focused on whether Biden was even aware of the clemency orders and executive actions that were signed with an autopen during his last few months in office.
Zients is apparently the last former Biden official to be interviewed by the committee, per Fox News. The committee’s chairman, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., called him “one of the most, if not the most important, witnesses in our investigation,” which is a pretty bold statement. According to Comer, Zients was the one who “authorized the use of the autopen, especially down the stretch in the last lame duck period of the Biden administration”.
