Anthony Bernal, a top aide to former First Lady Jill Biden, invoked the Fifth Amendment during a closed-door House Oversight Committee session, refusing to answer questions about whether the former president misled the public about his health or allowed unelected individuals to perform presidential duties. Committee Chairman James Comer criticized the lack of cooperation, citing it as part of a broader effort to avoid accountability. The investigation focuses on the former president’s cognitive fitness and the use of tools like the autopen for official actions. Bernal’s refusal follows a similar move by the former president’s physician, Kevin O’Connor, who also declined to answer related questions under oath. Comer called the repeated use of the Fifth Amendment concerning and emphasized the public’s right to transparency.
