Anthony Bernal, described as Jill Biden's 'work husband' with significant White House influence, faces subpoena after backing out of testimony on President Joe Biden's alleged cognitive decline cover-up.

Jill Biden’s “work husband” Anthony Bernal became the second former White House aide to take the Fifth Amendment when hauled before a congressional committee.

A former aide to ex-first lady Jill Biden invoked his Fifth Amendment privilege during testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, raising red flags for some amid a probe pertaining to concerns over former President Joe Biden 's health.

Bernal was appearing before the House Oversight Committee as a witness in its investigation into the Biden administration's use of the autopen.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., quickly confirmed Bernal invoked his right against self-incrimination in comments to reporters alongside committee member Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., who was also present.
