House Panel Subpoenas Jill Biden Aide Over Probe

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has subpoenaed Anthony Bernal, a former senior adviser to First Lady Jill Biden, after Bernal refused to attend a scheduled interview about alleged cover-ups of President Joe Biden's mental decline and the use of autopen for executive actions. The subpoena followed the White House's waiver of executive privilege, which Comer contends removes Bernal's legal grounds to refuse testimony. Comer accuses Bernal of obstructing the investigation and argues that the public deserves clarity on who made key decisions in the Biden White House. Neera Tanden, a former Biden aide, previously testified she had authority over autopen signatures but denied any knowledge of a cover-up. Bernal's refusal has intensified scrutiny of the administration's internal decision-making and transparency. The Oversight Committee maintains it will not accept efforts to withhold information from Congress or the public.
