According to The Hill, Andrew Bates lashed out at Trump during his opening statement to the Oversight Committee.<\/p>\n

The Hill reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Andrew Bates, a former senior deputy press secretary for President Biden, slammed the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee investigating his former boss on Friday in an opening statement he made to the panel.<\/p>\n

Bates is on Capitol Hill as one of multiple former Biden aides who have gone in person before the panel for the committee\u2019s investigation into Biden\u2019s mental acuity and use of an autopen. He appeared voluntarily.<\/p>\n

The former White House official lambasted President Trump in his statement to the GOP-led panel. He said lawmakers are wasting taxpayer money to investigate Biden but turn a blind eye to a multitude of what he deemed offenses being committed by the Oval Office\u2019s current occupant.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs illegal tariffs raise the costs that Trump promised to lower, the sitting president is profiting off of the American people. He has sold special access to whomever bought the most of his
\ncryptocurrency. He is illegally trying to take over the Federal Reserve, which Republican economists warn will increase inflation,\u201d Bates said, according to his statement obtained by The Hill.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Chairman Comer previously demanded testimony from: Biden White House physician Dr.\u00a0Kevin O\u2019Connor<\/a>, Director of Domestic Policy Council\u00a0Neera Tanden<\/a>, Former Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to First Lady Jill Biden\u00a0Anthony Bernal<\/a>, Former Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff\u00a0Annie Tomasini<\/a>, Former Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Oval Office Operations\u00a0Ashley Williams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Several Biden aides have pleaded the Fifth Amendment and refused answer questions about Biden\u2019s health decline.<\/p>\n
