A senior aide to former President Joe Biden admitted under oath that he had a direct financial incentive to hide Biden’s worsening cognitive health during the 2024 campaign, as revealed by a bombshell video released Tuesday by the House Oversight Committee.

The footage, part of a closed-door deposition made public by Chairman James Comer (R-KY), shows longtime Biden adviser Mike Donilon squirming and pausing repeatedly before acknowledging that he was promised a $4 million bonus if Biden had won reelection — in addition to an already-lucrative $4 million base salary.

The exchange, which unfolded during the committee’s investigation into what lawmakers call the “autopen scandal,” appears to confirm what several whistleblowers had previously alleged: that senior staff members were financially motivated to conceal the president’s physical and mental decline from voters, donors, and even some Cabinet officials during the 2024 election cycle.

“Would you have received a bonus depending on the way the campaign went?” a congressional investigator asked Donilon.
