President Joe Biden’s actions while in office are still making headlines, and it appears that some of his staffers are being held accountable. 

Former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain was questioned by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee about his time in the office, as The Daily Mail reported.

The committee questioned Klain about Biden’s mental status and his use of an autopen to sign official documents while in office.

This comes after intense criticism by President Donald Trump about Biden's mental status and use of the pen, alluding to the possibility that the former president might not have been in charge of the administration.

The Approach

As many other former Biden aids, Klain seemed to take a careful approach to the questioning, but unlike many of the other aides, he did not invoke his Fifth Amendment rights when questioned.

The Oversight Committee Chairman, James Comer (R-Ky.) said characterized Klain as “fairly responsive” to panel questions during a break in the session, but said he had more questions for the former chief of staff.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), another well-known REpublican on the committee, said that Klain was “not trying to avoid answering the questions” and seemed to be “answering the questions carefully.”

“I think he is telling what he knows accurately,” Biggs asserted. “He’s trying to be accurate.”

From The Other Side

Another representative, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), who also questioned Klain as part of the committee, was positive about the testimony.

The Democrat went on to say that the former staffer was “forthcoming” about his private conversations with the former president.

“I found Mr. Klain to be very credible. He answered every single question. He was fully cooperative,” Khanna said of Klain’s interview.

Other Interviews

Klain isn’t the first staffer to be brought before the committee as part of this inquiry. In fact, the committee has talked to multiple others who worked under Biden, and plans to continue the investigation until they are satisfied they’ve found answers to some pressing questions.

However, not everyone has been very helpful to the lawmakers. A few other aides from the previous administration invoked their right against self-incrimination and refused to answer questions.

Included in the group who held back was Anthony Bernal, who was the former chief of staff to first lady Jill Biden.

Additionally, deputy director of Oval Office operations Annie Tomasini was also less helpful than Klain, as was Biden’s former White House doctor Kevin O’Connor.
