According to a New York Post report, former First Lady Dr. Jill Biden’s aide, Anthony Bernal, pleaded the Fifth in a House hearing on the cover-up of Joe Biden’s decline on Wednesday.
Bernal, who is very close to the former First Lady, has been called her “work husband.”
Joe Biden’s former personal physician, Kevin O’Connor, also took the Fifth last week.
Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said he only got to ask two questions of the Biden family confidant: “Was Joe Biden fit to exercise the duties of the president?” and “Did any unelected official or family member execute the duties of the presidency?”
“I think that the American people are concerned,” Comer added. “They’re concerned that there were people making decisions in the White House that were not only unelected but no one to this day knows who they were.”
Bernal gave no answers.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) said Bernal’s hasty retreat implicates him in “corruption at the highest level.”
“If you cannot, say, answer a simple question about Joe Biden’s capabilities, then that further demonstrates that he was not in charge of his administration,” Donalds told reporters.
“And if he was not in charge of his administration, then every order, every bill that was signed, every memorandum, as far as I’m concerned, are null and void.”
