Biden Spokesman Ian Sams only Met Former President Twice, Comer Says
Ian Sams, who defended Biden's cognitive state, testified he met the president only twice over two years, raising oversight concerns about transparency and decision-making in the administration.
- On Thursday, former White House spokesman Ian Sams told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee he met former President Joe Biden in person only twice during his mid-2022 to August 2024 tenure.
- Ian Sams, who often defended Biden publicly, had limited firsthand access and operated from the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, relying on senior intermediaries like Anita Dunn and White House Counsel's Office for direction.
- On Thursday, Ian Sams spent roughly three hours in a closed-door deposition, testifying from 9 a.m. until just after 12 p.m. before exiting without answering reporters' questions; he acknowledged poor memory for brief interactions.
- Chairman James Comer said Sams's testimony raises serious questions about who was truly calling the shots in the White House, and Republican members press probes into autopen-signed pardons and executive actions signed near the end of the administration.
- In the coming weeks, at least three former officials including Karine Jean-Pierre will testify as Comer, who subpoenaed aides earlier this year, probes amid some witnesses invoking the Fifth Amendment and Hur's February 2024 report citing Biden's memory lapses.
