James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, indicated that former Vice President Kamala Harris might be called too testify in the committee&#8217;s ongoing investigation into the use of an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >autopen device allegedly employed<\/a> to sign documents on behalf of President Joe Biden. The investigation aims to determine the extent to which Biden&#8217;s physical and mental capacity might have been concealed by his management and whether autopen technology was used to act in his stead. Comer suggested that harris&#8217;s testimony could be &#8220;helpful&#8221; and hinted that a subpoena for her appearance is a strong possibility. Republicans on the committee, including Rep. Byron Donalds, have sought to question all Biden staff, including Harris and former first lady Jill Biden. Recently, several high-level Biden aides, such as Ian sams, Anita dunn, and Ron Klain, have testified as part of the probe into the president&#8217;s capacity and the autopen issue. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Comer says Harris testimony would be &lsquo;helpful&rsquo; in autopen investigation<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2195227\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/james-comer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">James Comer<\/a> (R-KY), House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman, hinted on Thursday that the committee may pursue a testimony from former Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kamala Harris<\/a> in its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3763742\/former-biden-aide-ian-sams-arrives-for-house-oversight-autopen-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">autopen investigation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>House Republicans have aimed their investigative power at the Biden administration, looking to figure out the extent, if any, to which former President Joe Biden&rsquo;s physical and mental decline was covered up by his staff, and whether others acted in his stead through the use of an autopen.
