Trump’s White House counsel sent a letter to Biden aide Neera Tanden this morning, as she appears before the House Oversight Committee amid a probe into Biden’s mental fitness as president — The letter argues that asserting executive privilege is “not justified” because of the nature of the allegations.
“The President authorizes you to provide unrestricted testimony to the House Oversight Committee, irrespective of potential privilege.”

A top former aide to former President Joe Biden testified behind closed doors Tuesday for more than four hours as part of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into his mental fitness to serve and his White House’s use of an autopen, confirming she was authorized to use the automatic signature device while pushing back on concerns about alleged manipulation or malfeasance.
Neera Tanden, who served as director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, explained in her opening remarks Tuesday that she was given authority to wield the autopen. She said she “was responsible for handling the flow of documents to and from the president” and was authorized to direct autopen use from October 2021 to May 2023 when she was serving as staff secretary and senior adviser to Biden.
