Longtime Biden aide testifies in GOP probe that former president aged on job but remained 'fully engaged'

(CNN) One of Joe Biden’s former top communications advisers told the House Oversight Committee that she watched the former president age on the job but that he was always in command.

Anita Dunn, the former senior adviser to the president for communications, is the latest former Biden aide to voluntarily testify before the Republican-led panel in its probe of the former president’s cognitive decline and possible efforts to conceal it from the public.

“While I observed that President Biden aged physically during his time in oﬃce, which is something that happens to every president, he remained throughout my interactions with him fully engaged and clear in his directions and supervision,” Dunn said in her opening statement, obtained by CNN.

I can’t imagine he would be in such a decrepit state just several months later.
