On Wednesday, Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, sent a letter to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) seeking documents and communications related to former President Biden’s mental and physical health during his time in office. The request follows Johnson's earlier invitations to former members of President Biden's cabinet to appear for interviews before the subcommittee regarding concerns about the former president’s health.

A recent news report indicated that NARA has provided more than 27,000 records to the White House Counsel’s Office. That office is currently reviewing how the former president’s health may have affected official decisions.

“These allegations, which received renewed interest following the publication of a book detailing the former president’s mental and physical decline, raise serious questions about who was making key presidential decisions if the former president was incapable of doing so. One of these key decisions may have involved the presidential power to grant clemency or pardons — a matter that the White House Counsel's Office, among other entities, are currently investigating,” Chairman Johnson wrote.

Johnson is requesting all records supplied by NARA to the White House Counsel's Office that refer or relate to claims of decline in President Biden’s mental or physical health or any alleged coverup. He is also seeking communications between White House officials, cabinet members, and staff about this topic.

Senator Johnson has previously won several elections in Wisconsin. In 2022, he defeated Mandela Barnes with 50.4% of the vote compared to Barnes' 49.4%. Earlier victories include his 2016 win over Russ Feingold with 50.2% versus Feingold's 46.8%, and his initial election in 2010 where he again beat Feingold with 51.9% against 47%.
