A prominent former Biden official has told the House Oversight Committee that he only ever saw the President in person twice, raising yet more serious questions over his cognitive and physical state while in office.
Ian Sams, a spokesman for the White House Counsel’s Office from mid?2022 to August 2024, said in testimony before the Committee that he only had face to face meetings with Biden on two occasions during his entire tenure.In addition to the two meetings, Sams had just one phone call and one Zoom call with Biden.
Sams’ role at the White House was to issue statements on behalf of the administration’s legal team and to address press questions.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt commented on the development, noting that the press corps gets to see President Trump twice or more in one day, more than Sams saw Biden in over two years.
The White House press corps often sees and gets to ask President Trump questions more than twice in a single day.

But a top Biden spokesperson only met with Joe Biden twice during his entire two years working in the White House!
How is that possible? https://t.co/numqpqfdVw
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) remarked “This was a huge interview today, and I think it contradicts everything that the former Biden people are saying with respect to the president’s mental fitness.”
Comer labelled Sams’ testimony “one of the most shocking” exchanges the committee has had while investigating the administration’s handling of Biden’s decline.
“In fact, [former special counsel] Robert Hur spent more time with Joe Biden than Ian Sams,” Comer added, referring to the prosecutor’s two-day interview with the president during the classified documents probe.
The New York Post reports that another Biden aide commented that Sams appeared to receive his “marching orders” from senior advisor Anita Dunn, and had “zero contact with [Biden].”
The aide added that the two in-person meetings Sams mentioned were “more than I thought.”
“It raises serious concerns and serious questions about who was calling shots at the White House,” Comer asserted, adding “If the White House spokesperson was being shielded from the president of the United States, who was operating the Oval Office?”

The communist leftist cabal were operating the Presidency … just as they stole the election while the feckless SCOTUS did nothing about it. It’s amazing we have survived the treachery and brazen lawlessness.
