The Facts
On Wednesday, the Republican-led US House Oversight Committee subpoenaed three senior White House aides to testify about Democratic Pres. Joe Biden's health.
In a press release, the committee announced subpoenas for Ashley Williams, special assistant to the president; Anthony Bernal, senior advisor to First Lady Dr. Jill Biden; and Annie Tomasini, deputy chief of staff.
The Spin
Republican narrative
In the face of terrifying reports about the president's deteriorating condition, the House has no choice but to request to hear from these aides, under oath, to find out who's calling the shots in the White House. It's unfortunate that it's come to this, but the Biden administration has broken every promise it made about transparency, and the American people deserve to know who's making the country's crucial decisions.
Democratic narrative
House Republicans continue to desperately attack the president because of their fears he'll defeat Trump this November. Their evidence-free attempt to impeach Biden fell through, so now they want to turn his health into a partisan issue. Weaponizing subpoenas to gain publicity is no way to govern.
