Jill Biden's "Work Husband," the Aide Who Controlled The White House and Hid Joe Biden's Infirmity from the Public, Refuses to Testify to Congress

Top Biden aide Anthony Bernal is refusing to appear before a House Republican-led committee on Thursday to answer questions about the purported cover-up of the president's cognitive decline while in office.
Bernal, known as first lady Jill Biden's "work husband" and a loyal member of the family's inner circle, flouted an invitation to sit for a transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee after the Trump White House waived executive privilege for the testimony.
"With no privilege left to hide behind, Mr. Bernal is now running scared, desperate to bury the truth," said Oversight chairman James Comer (R-Ky.)
"The American people deserve answers and accountability, and the Oversight Committee will not tolerate this obstruction. I will promptly issue a subpoena to compel Anthony Bernal's testimony before the Committee."
Dr. Kevin O'Connor, who served as the former White House physician for Biden, has already been issued a subpoena to appear for testimony Friday.

Another top Biden aide, Neera Tanden, also attempted to dodge testimony.

She said she couldn't testify because of executive privilege. But executive privilege is invoked by the currently-serving president, not a past one. Trump requested that Biden invoke executive privilege to protect his own documents, but Biden repeatedly refused.

When Neera Tanden made the same request, you know that Trump enjoyed telling her to get stuffed.

Bernal's move comes after former White House Domestic Policy Council director Neera Tanden testified to the Oversight panel on Tuesday, without the shield of privilege covering her statements.
"After balancing the Legislative and Executive Branch interests, as required under the accommodation process, it is the President's view that this presents an exceptional situation in which the congressional need for information outweighs the Executive Branch's interest in maintaining confidentiality," wrote Gary Lawkowski, deputy White House counsel, in a Monday letter to Tanden.
Comer said Tanden revealed in her testimony that she controlled access to Biden's autopen -- despite having "minimal interaction" with the president -- and sent numerous "decision memos" to an "inner circle" of White House advisers for approval.
"Her testimony raises serious questions about who was really calling the shots in the Biden White House amid the President's obvious decline," the Oversight chairman thundered.

Tanden was one of the main operators of the presidential autopen. She admitted that while she affixed Biden's fake signature to pardons, she didn't know who had actually authorized these pardons.

In other words, it wasn't Biden. One of Biden's aides would tell her to activate President Autopen, and she ran hundreds of pardons through the Presidential Simulator.

Neera Tanden, former head of Biden's Domestic Policy Council, admitted that she authorized autopen signatures without knowledge of who issued the final approval in a closed-door hearing before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday, according to Fox News.
In her role as staff secretary, before she was moved to the Domestic Policy Council, Tanden "was responsible for handling the the flow of documents to and from the President," sending decision memos to "Biden's inner circle" and affixing the president's autopen signature to the documents when she received approval. Tanden was not privy to any of the decision-making process or who was giving the final approval. She rarely interacted with Biden. The system, according to her opening statement, was a relic of previous administrations.

So she would make a decision about what orders or pardons should be signed, and send those "decision memos" to the inner circle controlling the White House. The inner circle would approve her "decision memos" and instruct her to fire up President Autopen. But, criticially: She wasn't ever talking to Biden and had no idea of who was actually making these decisions.

And she claims that this is Just How It's Always Been Done.

Perjury.

Tanden denied that she had ever discussed the former president's fitness for office, per Fox News. "I had no experience in the White House that would provide any reason to question his command as President. He was in charge," she said in her statement.

That's another lie.

When asked by a reporter after the hearing if there had been an "effort to disguise President Biden's condition," she quickly denied it as she walked away.
"Her testimony raises serious questions about who was really calling the shots in the Biden White House amid the President's obvious decline," Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement.

Kellyanne Fitzpatrick, who's ditched her cuck, says that it's extremely unusual for the person who handles the presidential paperwork to never interact with the president whose orders she's allegedly executing.

Here is the White House staffer who was really running the Biden presidency via autopen.

Neera Tanden. Nobody elected her. Most people don't even know her name.

Hi Piper,

I personally have little confidence. The Democrats act like they just want the whole Biden tenure to just disappear. I don't think they'll even give lip service to any kind of investigation.

GOP seems to be pursuing it more, however I don't have a lot of confidence in them generating anything but talking points for the midterm elections.

75 This needs to keep going. Not necessarily because anyone will go to jail over it (although, please please please God, make this happen), but because it keeps the Dems off-balance going into the midterms. If the Rs can establish the 'culture of corruption' theme that worked so well for Pelosi during the Bush Administration - well enough for her to become Speaker again - it should depress Dems enough for Trump to have a bigger margin going into the second half of his current term.

122 I think the focus of the autopen abuse by unelected subordinates should focus on the 11 Yemeni terrorists that were transferred out of GITMO just two weeks before Trump took office.

It was, obviously, a time sensitive action that they wanted to complete before Trump arrived. And, it took place on January 6, 2025, in the name of a president who was pulled from the election due to his mental capacity. Obviously, the decision to transfer these terrorists was made by someone else.

I think that's a valid path to follow for a number of reasons.

Posted by: Maj. Healey
========
One of the major objections that the Congress critters have to the BBB is that a) it ends government by continuing resolution thus resetting baseline spending, and b) it raises the debt ceiling for Trump's first two years. Both end the charade of using CRs and the debt ceiling to force through grift.

Debt ceilings are ALWAYS going to be raised and that has happened since Congress invented the damn fool thing in 1917 or so.

The US government has never defaulted on its debts and failure to raise the debt limit does not cause required spending to stop, but rather interest payments to bond holders are affected (e.g. default). That means a huge interest increase immediately from such a damn fool action making budget deficits far worse in reality.

CR's since the Obama years simply let Congress sneak in all kinds of grift spending as things like Tarp, etc. are still considered approved spending.

Important or significant is relative and subjective.

Biden was still meeting with foreign leaders, and there were plenty of cases of Biden's aides correcting shit he said. Regardless of thinking the aides, cabinet, 'deep state' should be mostly in charge (D thinking not my thinking) having someone so mentally gone that they couldn't stay on the script they were given was a dangerous situation for the country and it was appalling that everyone who had some bit of oversight ability just ignored it and hoped the senile pervert did not start WW3 spewing nonsense.

And while most people are aware of all the ways in which a workplace romance could sour, most approve of them: 76% of those surveyed said there is nothing wrong with dating a colleague and 71% said there is nothing wrong with dating a manager. "

Memories here grow short. Ruby Ridge.
Posted by: Doug Roberts at June 26, 2025 02:03 PM (j6th+)

We knew who was acting President during Ruby Ridge. Not the same thing, at all. And considering the scum of the earth that the autopen set loose from prison, I think this may be more problematic.

238 I think the Autopen scandal is why Trump almost always signs things in public, with a camera rolling.

Actually, no... his ego enjoys the pomp and circumstance of the signing ceremony. But it's likely that no Autopen scandal will plague the Trump administration.

I thought we were talking about Biden since I kept referencing Neera, part of the Biden administration.

But sure, some more hearings will expose the Biden administration which...Democrats have already started distancing themselves from and started last November pretty explicitly.

I'm sorry if my decades of watching politics has inured me to the effects of congressional hearings having effects on the American public's perception of politics since...the vast majority of people don't pay attention to them.

This was also the MC's problem in Star Trek Discovery.
I didn't actually mind. It ensured she wasn't a Mary Sue; there were plenty of other, worse characters on that show (like the fat white woman who said "I fucking love science" at a time it was already a meme). The problem - well, besides those other lousy characters - was that there was no reason Starfleet ever should have let her back in a position of responsibility.

It's easier for a person of average intelligence to write a genius character than for a non-virtuous person to write an actual hero. Nobody in Hollywood these days is practicing virtue, and it is plainly obvious in the kinds of characters they expect us to believe are heroic.
