Mike Donilon, former senior adviser to Joe Biden, testified before the House Oversight Committee Thursday morning that he had no knowledge of the Biden administration’s use of the autopen.
Appearing before the House Oversight Committee for its sprawling investigation into the former president’s inner circle and his mental acuity, Donilon stood by Biden’s fitness for office and claimed his communication skills “got stronger” during his one-term presidency, according to a source familiar with his testimony.
Donilon, who has worked with Biden since 1981, entered the Rayburn House Office room at 10:05 a.m. and left the hearing shortly after 4 p.m. He did not respond to questions from reporters.
Donilon has been a staunch defender of Biden since he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, maintaining during his testimony that he believes congressional Democrats overreacted after Biden’s debate against Trump, according to the source familiar.
The longtime Biden aide and 2024 campaign adviser confirmed to the committee that he was paid $4 million for Biden’s reelection campaign, and would have been paid another $4 million if Biden had won, the source familiar said.
