WASHINGTON – Yesterday, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) delivered remarks alongside House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-KY) after attending the closed-door deposition of Anthony Bernal.

Known as former First Lady Jill Biden's "work husband," Bernal was Jill Biden's longtime Chief of Staff, and a top Biden family advisor.

In his remarks, Donalds called for former First Lady Jill Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and "every member of the Biden administration" to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in its investigation into former President Joe Biden's cognitive decline and his administration's autopen usage.

Watch the Congressman's remarks here:

Here's what they're saying:

CENTRAL FLORIDA NEWS 13: "Anthony Bernal, a political aide to former First Lady Jill Biden appeared before the House Oversight Committee yesterday for a deposition and repeatedly pleaded the Fifth in response to questions about President Biden's mental fitness as the latest step in the Republican-led committee's investigation into what they say was a cover-up of the former President's mental decline. 'This is corruption at the highest level because if you cannot say, answer a simple question about Joe Biden's capabilities then that further demonstrates that he was not in charge of his administration. And if he was not in charge of his administration, then every order, every bill that was signed, every memorandum, as far as I'm concerned are null and void.' Congressman Byron Donalds wants Dr. Jill Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris to answer the committee's questions as a part of the ongoing investigation."

DAILY WIRE: "Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) took his assessment a step further, noting that in addition to not answering any questions, Bernal would not even read his own statement before the committee. 'This morning, I attended the deposition of Anthony Bernal – Jill Biden’s ‘work husband.’ These are my takeaways,' Donalds said. 'He couldn’t answer A SINGLE QUESTION; He refused to read his own statement; This is corruption at the highest level; Joe was not in charge of his own admin; Every order, bill, & memo is NULL & VOID; The Democrats can’t hide from this; We must subpoena ALL BIDEN STAFF; @DrBiden must be called to testify; @KamalaHarris must be called to testify.”

590 THE FAN–ST. LOUIS: "Florida Representative, the Republican, Byron Donalds says until someone gives answers, the pressure will continue. 'Democrats need to actually step into the light and not hide behind this stuff or run away from it because everything that that administration did, as far as I'm concerned, is unlawful. If he [Joe Biden] did not have the ability to discharge his duties..."

THE FEDERALIST: "According to Fox News, several committee members entered the room during the staff-led deposition, including Reps. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, and the ever-unhinged Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., told reporters that investigators will need to step up their efforts to get at the truth. Donalds said the silent treatment from Biden’s former handlers is telling. 'The chairman is being nice. I don’t have to be. This is corruption at the highest level, because if you cannot, say, answer a simple question about Joe Biden’s capabilities, then that further demonstrates that he was not in charge of his administration,' Donalds said, according to Fox News."

FOX BUSINESS NETWORK: "We still have no answers in the Biden-autopen investigation. That's because both witnesses have plead the Fifth. Now, Byron Donalds, he wants to turn up the heat. '...every member of the Biden administration at this point needs to be subpoenaed...Sorry...former First Lady...she gotta come in and answer questions...' A former First Lady being grilled by Congress? That would be a shock. We'll take it on though."

FOX NEWS CHANNEL: "Now it appears the committee could expand subpoenas to include the First Lady. 'Anthony Bernal was the right-hand man. That's her guy. Her Chief of Staff. If he came in here and plead the Fifth, I'm sorry. She gotta come here and answer questions.'"

FOX NEWS DIGITAL: "Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., was more forceful in his demands for more high-profile witnesses – noting he was speaking for himself, rather than the committee. 'As far as I'm concerned, every member of the Biden administration at this point needs to be subpoenaed. I don't care if they were a secretary. I don't care if they were a janitor working in there. They've all got to come in and answer questions,' Donalds said. When asked if that meant the former first lady as well, Donalds responded, 'Of course."

FOX NEWS RADIO: "Florida Congressman Byron Donalds accused officials of hiding. 'If he did not have the ability to discharge his duties, then, anything that he signed, or the autopen signed, or whatever, as far as I'm concerned, is null and void."

THE GATEWAY PUNDIT: "GOP Congressman Byron Donalds went off on Anthony Bernal in remarks to reporters. Byron Donalds: He couldn’t answer A SINGLE QUESTION"

HANNITY: "Bernal gave no answers. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) said Bernal’s hasty retreat implicates him in 'corruption at the highest level.' 'If you cannot, say, answer a simple question about Joe Biden’s capabilities, then that further demonstrates that he was not in charge of his administration,' Donalds told reporters. 'And if he was not in charge of his administration, then every order, every bill that was signed, every memorandum, as far as I’m concerned, are null and void.”

THE INGRAHAM ANGLE: "And they're lawyering-up Congressman...Great, great job."

JACKSONVILLE JOURNAL-COURIER: “This is corruption at the highest level, because if you cannot answer a simple question about Joe Biden's capabilities, then that further demonstrates that he was not in charge of his administration,' said Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., who sat in on Bernal's deposition. Donalds said 'every member of the Biden administration, at this point, needs to be subpoenaed,' including Vice President Kamala Harris and Jill Biden." 

NEWSWEEK: "Representative Byron Donalds, a Florida Republican, shared similar sentiment, writing to X, formerly Twitter, that Bernal "couldn't answer A SINGLE QUESTION."

NEW YORK POST: "But Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) said Bernal’s hasty retreat implicates him in 'corruption at the highest level.' 'If you cannot, say, answer a simple question about Joe Biden’s capabilities, then that further demonstrates that he was not in charge of his administration,' Donalds told reporters."

THE POST-MILLENNIAL: "Committee Chairman James Comer and Rep. Byron Donalds confirmed Bernal’s refusal to answer…Donalds was more blunt, calling the situation 'corruption at the highest level.' 'The chairman is being nice. I don't have to be. This is corruption at the highest level, because if you cannot, say, answer a simple question about Joe Biden's capabilities, then that further demonstrates that he was not in charge of his administration,' Donalds said. 'And if he was not in charge of his administration, then every order, every bill that was signed, every memorandum, as far as I'm concerned, are null and void."

TAMPA FREE PRESS: "The gloves are off in the House GOP’s investigation into the health and capabilities of the former Biden administration. Following a bombshell deposition in which former First Lady Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff, Anthony Bernal, invoked the Fifth Amendment, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) is now calling for direct testimony from none other than Jill Biden herself and former Vice President Kamala Harris. Congressman Donalds, a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, didn’t mince words after Bernal’s silence."

TOWNHALL: "Rep. Donalds was infuriated, adding that yesterday might spur him to haul every Biden staffer before Congress."

TOWNHALL: "Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) wasn’t having it. Speaking to reporters, Donalds ripped into Bernal for refusing to answer a single question, calling it “crazy” that he even had his lawyer read a statement on his behalf. He cited testimony as evidence of the "highest level" of corruption occurring in former President Joe Biden's White House, and as proof that Biden was not in charge of his administration. Donalds said that as far as he is concerned, every order, bill, and memo signed by the former President is null and void. He then accused Congressional Democrats of hiding from the fact that the former President was unfit for office."

WASHINGTON EXAMINER: "Comer and Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) addressed reporters after Bernal’s brief appearance. 'If you cannot sit and answer a simple question about Joe Biden’s capabilities, then that further demonstrates that he was not in charge of his administration,' Donalds told reporters. Bernal is not the first witness to invoke the Fifth Amendment in this investigation. Biden’s former physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, decided to invoke it last week after the committee denied his request to delay his testimony."

WCBM AM680–BALTIMORE: "Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) wasn’t having it. Speaking to reporters, Donalds ripped into Bernal for refusing to answer a single question, calling it 'crazy' that he even had his lawyer read a statement on his behalf. He cited testimony as evidence of the 'highest level' of corruption occurring in former President Joe Biden’s White House, and as proof that Biden was not in charge of his administration. Donalds said that as far as he is concerned, every order, bill, and memo signed by the former President is null and void."

WDBO RADIO–ORLANDO: "Comer and Congressman Byron Donalds, from the Great State of Florida, said Bernal argued that invoking the 5th Amendment was not an admission of guilt. Donalds said it was a stunning move...Byron Donalds calling it corruption at the highest level."

WHIO RADIO–DAYTON: "Florida Congressman Byron Donalds says that the House can subpoena former First Lady Jill Biden. The GOP alleges a group of aides covered-up the former President's mental decline."

WLS 890AM RADIO–CHICAGO: "Florida Congressman Byron Donalds reacted after Anthony Bernal's deposition. 'The fact that they are now hiding behind the Constitution so that they don't have to tell the truth to the American people about Joe Biden's abilities and mental faculties while he was President of the United States is not just shocking, it's stunning and it demonstrates the level of corruption that was going on in that administration."
