New Reports Reveal Biden Aides' White House Role

Recent undercover footage, Project Veritas videos, and investigative reports have revealed that a close circle of unelected aides, including Jill Biden’s chief of staff Anthony Bernal, exerted significant influence in the Biden White House, sometimes acting without the president's direct involvement. DNC Vice Chair David Hogg and former staffer Deterrian Jones described Bernal as a powerful and secretive figure, with Jones calling his influence an 'open secret.' The book 'Original Sin' by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson claims that a 'politburo' of senior advisers—Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti, Bruce Reed, Annie Tomasini, and Ron Klain—often bypassed cabinet officials and kept Biden at arm's length, partly due to concerns about his cognitive health. The aides reportedly justified undemocratic actions by framing Donald Trump as an existential threat to democracy. Critics have accused the mainstream media of covering up these dynamics and failing to report on Biden’s health or the aides’ influence. These allegations have led to intensified congressional scrutiny and debate about transparency and accountability in the executive branch.
