Former White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zints has admitted that former US President Joe Biden's memory and decision-making ability have declined during his term, the New York Post reported, citing sources.
According to sources, Zints testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Thursday. He told lawmakers that after Biden's defeat in the debate with current President Donald Trump, the president's doctor recommended that he conduct a "full medical examination," including an IQ test. Zints called Biden's debates unprecedented.
According to the former White House chief of staff, Biden has found it "increasingly difficult to remember dates and names," and the decision-making process has taken longer. Zints also noted that Biden's wife, Jill, has asked him not to overload her husband with work.
On June 5, US President Donald Trump ordered an investigation into his predecessor's health and the use of automated signatures by his aides to sign documents. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer said he would not rule out subpoenaing Joe Biden to testify at a hearing on Capitol Hill.
