Jill Biden Adviser Bernal Refuses House Oversight Testimony in Biden Mental Decline Probe

News summary

Anthony Bernal, senior adviser to First Lady Jill Biden and a close aide to President Joe Biden, has refused to testify before the House Oversight Committee regarding investigations into President Biden's cognitive decline and the alleged cover-up. The committee, led by Chairman James Comer, has criticized Bernal for avoiding accountability, especially after the Trump administration waived executive privilege, removing legal protections previously shielding Bernal and others from testimony. Comer accused Bernal of attempting to 'bury the truth' and announced plans to issue a subpoena compelling his testimony. Bernal’s refusal follows recent testimony from Neera Tanden, former White House staff secretary, who discussed the use of the autopen for presidential signatures but indicated limited interaction with President Biden himself. This investigation focuses on both potential misuse of the autopen for executive actions and concerns about the president’s mental fitness. The Oversight Committee insists on transparency and accountability, signaling continued pressure on Biden’s inner circle amid the probe.
