Jill Biden’s former senior advisor, Anthony Bernal, has been subpoenaed by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer to testify regarding President Biden’s cognitive decline and the White House’s management. Bernal initially consented to a voluntary interview, but after executive privilege was lifted, he retreated from transparency, which raised serious concerns about what harmful information he was keeping from the American people.
Biden’s Inner Circle Under Investigation
The House Oversight Committee has scheduled Bernal’s deposition for July 16, making him one of five former Biden administration officials subpoenaed to testify about the former president’s cognitive abilities. Bernal’s testimony is considered crucial due to his extraordinarily close connection with both Joe and Jill Biden, earning him the nickname of Jill Biden’s “work husband” within White House circles.

Chairman Comer emphasized the significance of this investigation following Biden’s catastrophic debate performance on June 27, 2024, which ultimately led to his withdrawal from the presidential race. The committee is investigating serious allegations that Biden’s staff concealed his declining mental state from the American public while potentially making executive decisions without proper authorization.
Questions About Who Was Running The Country
Investigators are particularly concerned about who was effectively running the White House during Biden’s presidency, including troubling revelations about the unauthorized use of an autopen for signing official documents. Former advisor Neera Tanden has already admitted to using the autopen but provided conflicting information about who authorized its use, raising constitutional concerns about the legitimacy of executive actions taken during Biden’s term.

Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, along with former aides Annie Tomasini and Ashley Williams, are also scheduled to testify as part of this expanding investigation. Their testimonies could reveal the full extent of Biden’s cognitive impairment and identify those responsible for what former President Trump has described as “one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.”
Bernal’s Evasion Suggests Damaging Information
Bernal’s sudden refusal to cooperate after the White House Counsel’s Office waived executive privilege has intensified suspicions about his role in concealing Biden’s condition. His absence from a previously scheduled hearing prompted Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena, signaling the committee’s determination to uncover the truth despite obstruction from Biden’s inner circle.
“Given your close connection with both former President Biden and former First Lady Jill Biden, the Committee sought to understand if you contributed to an effort to hide former President Biden’s fitness to serve from the American people. You have refused the Committee’s request. However, to advance the Committee’s oversight and legislative responsibilities and interests, your testimony is critical.” – Rep. James Comer.
The investigation represents a critical effort to ensure constitutional accountability and determine whether Americans were deliberately misled about who was making presidential decisions. The committee’s findings could have profound implications for future safeguards around presidential fitness and potentially invalidate numerous Biden administration actions if they were improperly authorized.
