Rep. Comer to Subpoena Biden Aide in Oversight Probe

Anthony Bernal, onetime assistant to former President Joe Biden and senior adviser to first lady Jill Biden, will be issued a subpoena to compel his testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform as part of a probe into Biden’s mental decline, the panel’s Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said on Wednesday in a statement.

Comer made the statement after Bernal decided to refuse to appear on Thursday for a transcribed interview as part of the committee’s investigation into the cover-up, including the potentially unauthorized use of autopen for sweeping pardons and other executive actions.

“Now that the White House has waived executive privilege, it’s abundantly clear that Anthony Bernal never intended to be transparent about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and the ensuing cover-up,” Comer said in the statement. “With no privilege left to hide behind, Mr. Bernal is now running scared, desperate to bury the truth.”
