Former First Lady Jill Biden’s “work husband” Anthony Bernal pleaded the Fifth when asked about a cover-up regarding former President Joe Biden’s health.
The House Oversight Committee wants to know who was in charge of the White House.
Comer asked Bernal two questions:
“During his deposition today, Mr. Bernal pleaded the Fifth when asked if any unelected official or family members executed the duties of the President and if Joe Biden ever instructed him to lie about his health,” stated House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer.
Bernal pleading the Fifth didn’t surprise Comer.
“This is a historic scandal and Americans demand transparency and accountability,” added Comer. “We will continue to pursue the truth on their behalf and examine options to get the answers we need.”
Comer told the media the committee hasn’t ruled out criminal referrals: “I think it’s very possible.”
“We’ll see if criminal activity has taken place. But look the tell all books, the interviews, the depositions, the transcribed interviews, everything that we’re gathering thus far,” continued Comer. “It’s not very reassuring for the Constitution or for the rule of law with respect to what was taking place in the White House.”
I won’t criticize anyone who pleads the Fifth. It is their right and does not prove or show guilt. It’s better to plead the Fifth than to say something that could get twisted to implicate you in something that you did not do.
Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s physician, pleaded the Fifth last week when facing the committee.
Comer said the committee asked O’Connor, “Were you ever told to lie about President Biden’s health?”
We didn’t need any proof, but much has been revealed about Biden’s mental abilities since he left office.
It’s funny. The media hit out at the people around Biden for covering his decline and yet…I don’t see the committee’s investigation receiving extensive coverage.
