Mike Donilon, an advisor and long-time ally of former President Joe Biden, reportedly told congressional investigators on Thursday that he was promised $8 million if the former president was reelected last year.
The revelation occurred during a closed-door meeting with investigators who were helping with the House Oversight Committee’s probe into Biden’s mental decline and an alleged White House plot to cover it up.
Donilon was among a handful of former Biden aides to speak to Congress, though several invoked their Fifth Amendment rights.
The former Biden aide told investigators that he was paid $4 million for his work on Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign, and would have received another $4 million if Biden had won, a source familiar with the interview told Fox News.
Donilon stated that he did not know what Biden used an autopen for, which Republicans believe was used to sign controversial pardons and executive orders toward the end of Biden’s presidency, and did not remember knowing about the tool.
The former aide also told investigators that although Biden aged in his presidency, he believed the former president was the “best person to lead the country.”
