Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have subpoenaed Anthony Bernal, a senior aide to former first lady Jill Biden, as part of their rapidly expanding investigation into former President Joe Biden's mental fitness while in office.

The subpoena — signed Thursday by Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the Republican Oversight chairman — requires Bernal to appear for a deposition on July 16. It came after several weeks of back-and-forth with Bernal's lawyer over the timing of a voluntary interview, which Comer says ended with Bernal withdrawing from an interview scheduled for Thursday.

"Given your close connection with both former President Biden and former First Lady Jill Biden, the Committee sought to understand if you contributed to an effort to hide former President Biden's fitness to serve from the American people," a cover letter for the subpoena reads. "To avoid any further delays, your appearance before the Committee is now compelled."

Bernal is the second former Biden staffer to be subpoenaed by the committee and unlikely to be the last. The committee this week heard voluntary testimony from Neera Tanden, a former director of Biden's domestic policy counsel, and is intent on securing interviews with several other members of Biden's inner circle as part of its investigation. CBS News has reached out to Bernal's attorney for comment.

Another example of Comer's Waste, Fraud, and Abuse of taxpayer money chasing unicorns while REFUSING to do OVERSIGHT of the 45 administration's ethics violations, lack of adhering to security protocols, refusal to follow record-keeping guidelines, and violations of the Impoundment Act, Antideficiency Act, Civil Service Act, and many more.

1. What a bunch of sore winners!

Usually after someone wins the presidency, they never mention they're opponent ever again and move on. But Dark Brandon lives rent free in the orange assclown's empty skull.

2. "age probe" Are they saying he's older than he let on?

Comer is such a tool.

3. Anything for a distraction

From Trump's mental deterioration. Lie, cheat. It doesn't matter to Republicans. .

The response should be simply reading some of Trump's rants to the "committee", without attributing. Then ask them to guess who said that.

Maybe we should start emailing portions of Trump's nuttiness to the committee members

4. GOP accuses Bernal of helping to "hide... Biden's fitness to serve" ?

5. Biden. Is. No. Longer. President.

And he isn't likely to hold o0r seek public office ever again.

What could the useles right-wing hope to get out of this other than a "Tol'ja so"? What motivates them if not plain old meanness?

6. The patented Comer "circle jerk" move

A truly vile simpleton.

7. Do a trump and

tell them to fuck off.

8. If you look at who's on this committee, it's a who's who of Repug party worst and weirdest.

Marge T. Greene, Comer, Anna P. Luna, Boebert, Jim Jordan, and a whole clown-car more. Lots of foolish fodder for Maxwell Green (D-FL, yah!) and Ms. (Woman Warrior) Crockett to respond too.

9. Just ignore it

Rethuglicans have already proven that compliance to subpoenas is optional.

We all know this is just a cruel and spiteful push by trump to drag the last real president through the mud.

10. don't those committee weirdos have anything better to do?

like investigating the dementia of the orange psychopath

[Mr. Evil]

11. And of course

they turn a blind eye to a demented, spoiled rotten rich kid who never matured beyond the age of 12, that literally gave a microphone a blow job at one of his hate rallies. That's just one glaring example. We all know there are thousands of other reasons to question TSF's mental acuity.

12. And once again I say:

On his very worst day in office, Joe Biden was 100 times better a president than trump ever dreamed of being. Abundant proof of that, stacking up every single day that trump's filthy regime is in power.

I hope the House anti-Biden hearings are an absolute disaster for trump and his scumbag supporters. Make it happen, Congressional Democrats---minimum co-operation, maximum damage.

13. Anything to waste time and money on frivolity

While his boss in the white house destroys our democracy.

[Bengus81]

14. Never saw Biden do a blank stare freeze at the mic like Turtle. Yet he's STILL in office.

What a fucking joke this shit is. Big time distraction nonsense.........

[Skittles]

15. they NEVER stop performing for the cult

and it is all WASTE, FRAUD and ABUSE
