Former White House senior adviser Anita Dunn arrived Thursday morning on Capitol Hill for a closed-door interview with House Oversight Committee investigators, as part of the panel’s intensifying inquiry into whether top aides worked to conceal signs of former President Joe Biden’s mental decline.
Dunn declined to answer reporters’ questions as she arrived at the Rayburn House Office Building and walked into the committee room just before 10 a.m.
In a written statement offered by a representative for Dunn, the former aide defended Biden’s fitness for office, saying he remained “fully engaged and clear in his directions and supervision” during her time in the White House. She said that while Biden aged physically — as all presidents do — his decision-making ability and grasp of policy never wavered.
“His ability to probe, to find the weakness in an argument, and to make well-informed decisions did not change during my time in the White House,” she said.
