Chairman Comer Subpoenas Anthony Bernal After Bailing on Transcribed Interview

WASHINGTON—House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today issued a subpoena to Anthony Bernal, former Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to the First Lady, to appear for a deposition on July 16, 2025 as part of the Committee’s investigation into the cover-up of President Joe Biden’s mental decline and potentially unauthorized executive actions.

Bernal had confirmed his appearance for a voluntary transcribed interview on June 26, 2025, but after the White House Counsel’s office informed him it was waiving executive privilege for the Oversight Committee’s investigation, he refused to appear.
