WATCH: Ex-Biden spin doctor makes stunning admission after touting his sharpness for years

In a July 2, 2024, interview on MSNBC, then-Biden spokesperson Ian Sams said of the former president that "When I deal with him, he is sharp, he is asking tough questions, that's the President Biden that so many of us experience every single day."

He further admitted that some of these interactions were online or over the phone. During his testimony he recalled two in-person meetings with Biden.

Sams worked in the White House from 2022 to 2024, serving in the roles of special assistant to the president, spokesperson and senior advisor in the White House Counsel's Office.

Sams was pressed on whether the basis of his statements on Biden's mental fitness was from his "handful" of interactions with the former president.

"You said that you met him personally maybe a handful of times. Are those the interactions that you were discussing when you say, 'I deal with him'?" a committee staff member asked, to which Sams responded, "Yes."

"Do you think that's a bit misleading?" Sams was asked.

He answered, "I think it was pretty direct and honest and said that when I do deal with him, he's, you know, sharp and he was asking incisive questions during my meetings with him."

"But you dealt with him five times in 24 months. That's not exactly a large scope of knowledge on how he interacts with staff," the committee staffer pressed, adding, "Do you think that statement suggests that you deal with him more than you did?"

Sams shot back, "I don't think so. I mean, I spoke about my own interactions with him."

"He was LYING to the American people to cover up for Biden's decline," the GOP account wrote.

Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., also posted on X, writing, "Biden's top spokesman, Ian Sams, admitted to Congress he met Joe Biden only twice in two years. But that didn't stop him from loudly insisting Joe was 'fit.'"

"Ian was just reading from a script written by Biden's handlers," added Comer.

In a statement released by the Oversight Committee, Comer went on to say, "The Biden Autopen Presidency will go down as one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history. As Americans saw President Biden's decline with their own eyes, Biden's inner circle sought to deceive the public, cover-up his decline, and took unauthorized executive actions with the autopen that are now invalid."

Fox News Digital reached out to Sams for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
