Biden Aide Pleads Fifth in House Probe on Mental Decline Cover-Up

In a striking turn of events on Capitol Hill, Annie Tomasini, a former top aide in the Biden administration, invoked the Fifth Amendment repeatedly during a closed-door deposition with the House Oversight Committee. This marks her as the third ex-official from the Democratic camp to sidestep questions about whether there was a concerted effort to mask signs of former President Joe Biden's alleged mental decline.

Tomasini, who served as White House deputy chief of staff, was in and out of the committee room in less than an hour, offering no comments to the press. Sources indicate she refused to answer critical questions, including whether she was ever instructed to lie about Biden’s health or conceal information regarding classified documents found in his possession. Her silence on matters involving the Biden family’s business dealings only deepens the intrigue.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer didn’t mince words after the deposition, stating that a pattern is emerging among key Biden confidants who seem determined to shield themselves from potential criminal liability. He emphasized the urgent need for transparency, vowing to push forward in uncovering the truth behind what he calls a possible conspiracy to hide the former president’s fitness to serve.

This isn’t an isolated incident. Two other former Biden aides, including ex-White House physician Kevin O’Connor and a longtime aide to Jill Biden, have similarly pleaded the Fifth under subpoena. The mounting resistance from these insiders fuels Republican allegations of a cover-up concerning Biden’s mental and physical state during his tenure, as well as questions about unauthorized executive actions.

Yet, the Biden camp is hitting back hard, labeling the GOP probe as a dangerous smear tactic aimed at political revenge. Meanwhile, Biden himself recently asserted that every decision during his presidency was made by him alone, a claim that does little to quiet the storm of skepticism swirling around his administration’s inner circle.

As this investigation unfolds, the American public is left to wonder: what truths remain unspoken behind those closed doors? The silence of these key figures speaks volumes, and the battle for accountability is far from over.
