Excerpt:

The former Chief of Staff of former President Joe Biden, Jeff Zients, went before a congressional panel September 18, 2025, and testified that Biden became increasingly difficult to work with.

Jeff Zients is the last scheduled witness to take questions from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee for its investigation into Biden’s fitness while he was in office. Zients said that Dr. Kevin O’Connor told him he would take the suggestion under advisement, according to a person familiar with Zients’ closed-door interview with the committee.

Zients was White House chief of staff from February 2023 to the end of Biden’s term in January 2025. He ignored reporters who peppered him with questions as he walked into the interview with the committee. He told the committee that after Biden’s poor debate performance against Trump, he thought it made sense for the president to drop out of the reelection race.

The House committee has been investigating Biden’s cognitive state and whether staff improperly used the White House autopen for major presidential actions, such as offering clemency to felons, without authorization from the president.

Zients also said the former president’s son, Hunter Biden, was involved in the pardon discussions and attended meetings on the matter, according to the person familiar with the interview. The then-president pardoned Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of tax and gun crimes.
