NO ANSWERS: Biden Aide Third Admin Member to Plead the Fifth in Cognitive Decline Cover-up Probe

Seeing a pattern?

Former Biden Deputy Chief of Staff Annie Tomasini became the third ex-White House aide to invoke the Fifth Amendment during a Capitol Hill deposition Friday — as Republicans accused her of helping cover up the president’s mental decline in what they called a “historic scandal.”

“There is now a pattern of key Biden confidants seeking to shield themselves from criminal liability for this potential conspiracy,” said House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), after Tomasini refused to say whether the White House had “instructed her to lie” about the president’s health.

“She also pleaded the Fifth when asked if she ever advised President Biden on the handling of classified documents found in his garage, if President Biden or anyone in the White House instructed her to conceal or destroy classified material found at President Biden’s home or office, and if she ever conspired with anyone in the White House to hide information regarding the Biden family’s ‘business’ dealings,” added Comer.

“It’s apparent they would rather hide key information to protect themselves and Joe Biden than be truthful with the American people about this historic scandal.”

Comer shared a similar message on X:

Tomasini began her career nearly three decades ago as press secretary to then-Senator Joe Biden while he chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

She initially agreed to testify voluntarily, but reversed course earlier this week. Her lawyer then requested a subpoena to compel her appearance before the Oversight Committee.
