Hakeem Jeffries Calls for House Oversight Probe into Trump's Health
"I think it's something that James Comer, if he's actually being honest about Congress being a separate and coequal branch of government. We don't work for Donald Trump. We don't work for JD Vance. We don't work for their billionaire donors. We work for the American people, and Congress, in its role as a separate and co-equal branch of government, should make sure that the administration comes clean as it relates to the president's ability to do his job at the level that the American people deserve."
"The demand came following reporting by The Wall Street Journal, amid an ongoing swirl of speculation about the president's health, which cited signs of aging and described internal concerns, including claims about Trump's aspirin intake, diet and lack of sleep."
"Trump himself took to Truth Social on Friday morning to insist doctors said his health was PERFECT and that he'd ACED his cognitive examination for the third straight time."
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries publicly urged House Oversight Committee chair James Comer to launch a congressional probe into President Donald Trump's health. Aaron Parnas noted Comer has pursued investigations into President Biden's fitness and Autopen use, prompting questions about reciprocal probes. Jeffries said the inquiry should not wait until after midterm elections and framed it as Congress's duty as a separate, co-equal branch to ensure the administration is transparent about the president's ability to perform the job. The call followed reporting that cited signs of aging and internal concerns about Trump's health. Trump denied problems and said doctors declared his health perfect.
