Comer subpoenas Bernal after withdrawal from interview

ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer has issued a subpoena to Anthony Bernal, who served as Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to the First Lady. The subpoena requires Bernal's appearance for a deposition on July 16, 2025. This action is part of the committee's ongoing investigation into allegations regarding a cover-up of President Joe Biden’s mental decline and potentially unauthorized executive actions.

Bernal had previously agreed to participate in a voluntary transcribed interview scheduled for June 26, 2025. However, he withdrew from this commitment following communication from the White House Counsel’s office, which indicated that it was waiving executive privilege for the Oversight Committee’s investigation.

Further details are available in the subpoena cover letter addressed to Anthony Bernal.
