As reported earlier, Joe Biden’s White House Chief of Staff, Ron Klain, testified before the House Oversight Committee on Thursday about Biden’s health decline.
According to reports, unlike other Biden officials whom the Oversight Committee deposed, Ron Klain cooperated with Congressional investigators and did not invoke his Fifth Amendment rights.
Klain was talking a lot and answering all of the questions during his deposition.
GOP Rep. Andy Biggs said to reporters: “In my opinion, he’s not trying to avoid answering the questions.”

Fox News reported later Thursday that Ron Klain told Congressional investigators that Hillary Clinton and Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan approached her and sounded the alarm on Biden just months before he dropped out of the 2024 election.
Klain defended Biden’s mental acuity, however, he disclosed that Hillary Clinton and Jake Sullivan said Joe Biden was not “politically viable.”
Fox News reported:
Ex-President Joe Biden’s former chief of staff Ron Klain told House investigators that Hillary Clinton approached him with concerns about the octogenarian leader’s political viability “by 2024,” Fox News Digital has learned.
Klain spoke with staff on the House Oversight Committee for over five hours on Thursday, as Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., continues to probe whether top Biden aides concealed signs of mental decline in the ex-president.
A source familiar with his voluntary interview told Fox News Digital that Klain believed Biden was mentally sharp enough to serve as president, and was not too old to run.
But the ex-secretary of state and former Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan both “approached Ron Klain stating they believed Joe Biden was not politically viable” months before he dropped his re-election bid in July 2024, the source said.
Sullivan told Klain that Biden “was less effective in 2024 compared to 2022,” the source said.
