Former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain is cooperating with congressional investigators looking into President Joe Biden’s mental fitness while in office, two lawmakers said Thursday.
Klain, who led Biden’s White House during his first two years, is currently meeting with House Oversight Committee staff as part of Chair James Comer’s probe into whether top aides concealed signs of the president’s cognitive decline.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) told reporters roughly an hour into the session that Klain “answered every question” that Republicans put forward.
“I found Mr. Klain to be very credible. He answered every single question. He was fully cooperative. There are times where he was asked about personal conversations he had with the president, and he was forthcoming,” Khanna said.
“I really appreciate his candor and the comprehensive way he had answered every question.”
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) told Fox News Digital minutes later when asked if Klain was credible, “Yeah – when I say credible, I think he is telling what he knows accurately. I mean, he’s trying to be accurate. So that’s what I’d say.”
“In my opinion, he is not trying to avoid answering the questions. He’s answering the questions carefully. He’s saying the things that I kind of expected him to say,” Biggs said. “But he’s been answering the questions, I think, forthrightly and in the way he sees the world.”
