PSI Chairman Johnson Requests Transparency from Biden Cabinet Officials Regarding the Former President’s Cognitive Decline
WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (“the Subcommittee”), sent letters to 28 former Biden Cabinet members regarding their knowledge of President Biden’s cognitive and health decline during his time in office and while running for reelection. Chairman Johnson requested that these former public officials appear voluntarily before the Subcommittee for interviews by June 6, 2025.
“The discrepancy between what Cabinet officials were telling the public about the former president’s health and what they were apparently witnessing and saying privately is astonishing, particularly considering that the former president was seeking reelection. After years of being lied to and kept in the dark, the public deserves full and complete transparency about what was known and when concerning President Biden’s health,” Chairman Johnson wrote.
The letters went out to the following former Biden Cabinet-level members:
- Lloyd Austin, former Secretary of Defense;
- Xavier Becerra, former Secretary of Health and Human Services;
- Jared Bernstein, former Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers;
- Antony Blinken, former Secretary of State;
- William J. Burns, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency;
- Pete Buttigieg, former Secretary of Transportation;
- Miguel Cardona, former Secretary of Education;
- Marcia Fudge, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development;
- Merrick Garland, former Attorney General;
- Jennifer Granholm, former Secretary of Energy;
- Isabel Guzman, former Administrator of the Small Business Administration;
- Deb Haaland, former Secretary of the Interior;
- Avril Haines, former Director of National Intelligence;
- Kamala Harris, former Vice President;
- Ronald Klain, former White House Chief of Staff;
- Alejandro Mayorkas, former Secretary of Homeland Security;
- Denis McDonough, former Secretary of Veterans Affairs;
- Arati Prabhakar, former Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy;
- Gina Raimondo, former Secretary of Commerce;
- Michael Regan, former Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency;
- Julie Su, former Acting Secretary of Labor;
- Katherine Tai, former United States Trade Representative;
- Linda Thomas-Greenfield, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations;
- Adrianne Todman, former Acting Secretary of Housing and Urban Development;
- Tom Vilsack, former Secretary of Agriculture;
