Ex-Biden Spokesman Reveals Shocking Truth: Only Met President Twice in 2 Years

Former Joe Biden spokesman for the White House Counsel’s Office from mid‑2022 to August 2024, Ian Sams, revealed before the House Oversight Committee that he had only seen former President Joe Biden in person twice during his entire tenure.

The admission fueled renewed questions over who was truly making decisions inside the Biden White House.

During his testimony, Sams told lawmakers that in addition to the two face-to-face encounters, he had one Zoom-style meeting and just a single phone call with the president over two years.

His role involved fielding questions from the press and issuing statements on behalf of the administration’s legal responses, yet he had almost nonexistent access to the commander-in-chief.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) told reporters Thursday:

“This was a huge interview today, and I think it contradicts everything that the former Biden people are saying with respect to the president’s mental fitness.”

Comer went on to call Sams’ testimony “one of the most shocking” interviews the committee has conducted so far.

Sams said that his office was physically based in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building—not the West Wing—meaning communication often flowed through senior intermediaries such as senior adviser Anita Dunn or legal counsel.

He went on to admit he was surprised by major moves from the president, including the highly controversial pardon of Hunter Biden and the unprecedented clemency granted to other family members not even under indictment.

“In fact, [former special counsel] Robert Hur spent more time with Joe Biden than Ian Sams,” Comer said, pointing to the prosecutor’s two-day interview with the president during the classified documents probe into whether Biden “willfully” kept sensitive records.

Another former Biden aide said Sams seemed to receive his “marching orders” from Anita Dunn.

“He [Sams] had zero contact with him [Biden],” the aide continued.

Comer and others pointed to Sams’s account as evidence of a deeply insulated and potentially opaque governing structure.

“It raises serious concerns and serious questions about who was calling shots at the White House,” Comer argued.

“If the White House spokesperson was being shielded from the president of the United States, who was operating the Oval Office?” he asked.
