Project Veritas just dropped a bombshell video that peels back the curtain on the Biden White House, revealing a shadowy power player in the East Wing.
According to The Economic Times, this undercover investigation sheds light on Anthony Bernal, Chief of Staff to former First Lady Jill Biden, and exposes claims of his outsized influence within a tight-knit circle of decision-makers.
The video, released by the ever-probing Project Veritas, features candid remarks from David Hogg, Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee, and Deterrian Jones, a former White House staffer from the Office of Digital Strategy.
Hogg didn’t mince words, stating, “Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff had an enormous amount of power.”
Well, isn’t that a cozy arrangement? If the DNC is just the president’s campaign arm, as Hogg claims, then Bernal’s grip on the reins in the East Wing raises eyebrows about who’s calling the shots.
Hogg also noted, “The inner circle is the bigger issue.” It’s a polite way of saying the real power isn’t in the public-facing roles but in the whispered conversations behind closed doors.
Jones, who once navigated the digital strategy corridors of the White House, painted Bernal as a figure straight out of a political thriller, saying, “He was scary.”
Describing him as a “Wizard of Oz-type figure,” Jones hinted at a man unseen by the public yet pulling strings with ruthless precision. Now, that’s the kind of image that makes you wonder what’s happening in the people’s house.
Jones added that avoiding Bernal was practically a survival tactic among staffers, with his influence being an “open secret” in those hallowed halls. It’s almost as if loyalty to the inner circle trumped any notion of transparency.
Digging deeper, the book “Original Sin” by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson offers context, portraying Jill Biden as one of history’s most powerful first ladies. That stature, in turn, seems to have turbocharged Bernal’s clout.
According to the book, Bernal enforced a culture where loyalty wasn’t just a virtue—it was the only currency that mattered. Staffing decisions, it seems, hinged on passing his litmus test of allegiance.
Bernal’s own words, as quoted in the book, cut to the chase: “Are you a Biden person?” That’s not just a question; it’s a demand for fealty that would make even the most seasoned politico squirm.
Jones also remarked that Bernal “wielded enormous power” despite being unknown to the general public.
If true, this kind of backroom dominance is exactly why so many Americans distrust the political elite—where’s the accountability?
Let’s be clear: a strong inner circle isn’t inherently wrong, but when staffers are dodging a figure like Bernal out of fear, it smells like a system more concerned with control than serving the public. Turns out, unchecked influence can cast a very long shadow.
