House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said that testimony from former Vice President Kamala Harris would be “helpful” in his panel’s probe of former President Biden’s mental acuity and his White House’s use of autopen during his term.
“I think that it would be helpful to hear from Kamala Harris. We haven’t decided whether or not we’re going to issue the subpoena or not, but certainly she’s welcome to come to the committee,” Comer told reporters Thursday.
“If I were her and wanted to have a political future, I would want to set the record straight on a lot of this stuff, because it’s going to haunt her entire political career, because nobody thinks that Joe Biden was calling the shots in the end,” Comer said.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), another member of the Oversight Committee, had previously suggested that the panel subpoena Harris. Comer told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham in July that with Harris having more time after opting against a run for governor, the odds of her getting a subpoena were “very high.”
Harris has repeatedly defended Biden’s fitness for office.
