Third Biden Witness Invokes Fifth Amendment During House Deposition
UNITED STATES, JUL 19 – Annie Tomasini is the third Biden aide to invoke the Fifth Amendment amid GOP probe into alleged cover-up of Biden's mental decline and unauthorized autopen use, House Oversight says.
- On Friday, Annie Tomasini, former deputy chief of staff, invoked her Fifth Amendment rights during a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee in Washington, D.C.

- Amid the inquiry, Anthony Bernal and Dr. Kevin O’Connor invoked the Fifth, marking the third instance of a witness pleading the Fifth in the GOP-led probe.
- Committee Chair James Comer called the refusals 'unbelievable', while Jonathan Su said she 'served with distinction' in her deposition.
- Amid ongoing subpoenas, House Oversight Committee revealed upcoming interviews with Sams on Aug. 21 and Bates on Sept. 5, while Sen. Ron Johnson gave Marco Rubio until July 30 to produce records.
