Bernal currently serves as Chief of Staff to Jill Biden in the Transition Office of Former President Joe Biden, as noted on his LinkedIn page. His deep ties to the Bidens and refusal to cooperate with investigators have added fuel to an already politically charged investigation.
What’s Next for the Investigation?
The Oversight Committee has already spoken with two other former White House aides and has subpoenaed Annie Tomasini, former Deputy Chief of Staff, to appear for questioning next.
Meanwhile, questions continue to swirl about the use of autopen, particularly regarding pardons and commutations issued near the end of Biden’s presidency.
President Biden has publicly denied those allegations:
“I orally granted every single one of them,” he said, dismissing the GOP narrative as politically motivated and false.
