Anthony Bernal, senior adviser to Jill Biden, has refused to testify in the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.
Bernal is refusing to appear for a June 26 interview as part of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Biden’s mental decline and potential misuse of the autopen, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced Wednesday.

Comer sharply criticized Bernal on Wednesday for refusing to appear before the committee, accusing him of avoiding accountability now that executive privilege has been waived.
“Now that the White House has waived executive privilege, it’s abundantly clear that Anthony Bernal – Jill Biden’s so-called ‘work husband’ – never intended to be transparent about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and the ensuing cover-up,” Comer said.
“With no privilege left to hide behind, Mr. Bernal is now running scared, desperate to bury the truth. The American people deserve answers and accountability, and the Oversight Committee will not tolerate this obstruction. I will promptly issue a subpoena to compel Anthony Bernal’s testimony before the Committee.”
Comer also referenced testimony delivered the day prior by Neera Tanden, the former White House staff secretary.
“Just yesterday, we heard from our first witness, Neera Tanden, the former staff secretary who controlled the Biden autopen,” Comer continued. “Ms. Tanden testified that she had minimal interaction with President Biden, despite wielding tremendous authority.”

“She explained that to obtain approval for autopen signatures, she would send decision memos to members of the president’s inner circle and had no visibility of what occurred between sending the memo and receiving it back with approval. Her testimony raises serious questions about who was really calling the shots in the Biden White House amid the president’s obvious decline. We will continue to pursue the truth for the American people.”
Bernal had previously agreed to appear for a transcribed interview with the committee.
However, on Wednesday, the White House Counsel’s Office announced it waived executive privilege for nine former Biden aides set to testify in congressional hearings on Biden’s fitness for office.
His legal team informed the committee he would no longer participate. David Hogg was caught on camera saying something I had been trying to tell you all for months
Anthony Bernal, Steve Richetti, Mike Donilon, Anita Dunn, Jill Biden, Ron Klain, Jeff Zeints were running the country
They were the President

Bernal is one of four Biden administration aides, along with Neera Tanden, Ashley Williams and Annie Tomasini, who have previously agreed to transcribed interviews.
Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s former White House doctor, is set to testify in a closed-door deposition before the committee July 9.
Bernal and others must be tried for treason and executed. There will be no peace unless that is done. These people basically overthrew the government and ran everything unelected. Treason.
Imagine if the political parties were in reverse ...
The sooner we hang one of these traitors , the faster the rest will line up to spill the beans!
Should be interesting to see if obeys the subpoena.
Just ask Steve Bannon ..............
hmmmmmmmm......VERY TELLING!
SUBPOENA???
HOW ABOUT GRAB HIM UP & JAIL HIM???
