WASHINGTON — President Biden’s inner circle has gotten smaller following his disastrous debate last week — with his wife’s top aide Anthony Bernal emerging as one of the 81-year-old’s key advisers alongside longtime confidante Mike Donilon, four sources close to or inside the White House tell The Post.
Bernal, 51, is a divisive figure for allegedly bullying and sexually harassing colleagues — and his influence was likened by three sources to that held by the mystic Grigori Rasputin over the family and court of Nicholas II, the last czar of Russia.
First lady Jill Biden considers Bernal her “work husband” and he’s also close to scandal-plagued first son Hunter, whom Bernal greeted with a hug June 11 after his felony gun conviction.
“Donilon and Bernal are 100% the most important advisers post-debate,” said one Democratic source close to the administration.
“Bernal is the closest thing to Dr. B [Jill] so [Joe Biden] has a blind spot,” said a second source. “And Mike has been with him the longest and has his voice.”
Hunter Biden, 54, distrusts many of his father’s longtime aides and has been attending official meetings with his dad since the first son returned from Camp David on Monday.
Donilon’s role as senior adviser includes writing Biden’s most important speeches and he has also been a constant presence following the June 27 CNN debate.
Hunter and Jill Biden are among the most forceful advocates of Joe Biden continuing with his campaign for a second term, despite a groundswell of Democratic calls for him to step aside for fear of a blowout loss to former President Donald Trump on Nov. 5.

He is best known for having befriended the imperial family of Nicholas II, the last Emperor of Russia, through whom he gained considerable influence in the final years of the Russian Empire.
Rasputin was killed. Did it with a few Russian oligarchs. Don’t see how. Ugly but then what do women know?
Delightful!
Powerful White House official—and Jill Biden’s ‘work husband’—is a #MeToo nightmare with claims of bullying, sexual harassment
...Four sources... said Bernal has speculated aloud in the workplace on the sexuality of colleagues—including at the White House—in a way that makes others uncomfortable.
“I have heard him say inappropriate things about people’s sexuality or pry inappropriately into people’s personal lives,” one former co-worker recalled of Bernal, who is openly gay.
“I heard him ask if people are gay all the time.”
I REPEAT:
DO EITHER JILL OR HUNTER HAVE SECURITY CLEARANCES???
no, but they do have product ( info) orders to fill or face pressure to return the grifts ?
the biden crime families business must go on ?
CCP and Russia waits ?
Who would have guessed that sexual perv Brandon has a sexual perv as his “right hand man”? cough
With this White House… that may mean he is the only normal person there.
They have had all sorts of perverts.
Probably have access to the nuclear codes football.
Let’s hope that was a grim joke of mine.
We (quite often me) have been speculating if Obama puppeteers or mysterious CCP or Soros agents or someone else has been doing all the policy making and decision making because we all know Biden has no idea of such things. Just ice cream, naps and sniffing little girls. Insiders write the scripts and he reads the teleprompters——if he can do that right.
Are we getting closer to answers?
