US EditionBiden autopen use: What to know as Trump orders investigation into his predecessor
- On June 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a memorandum ordering an investigation into whether Biden and his aides conspired to mislead the public about Biden's mental state and unauthorized presidential authority.
- This investigation follows reports, notably from the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, alleging Biden extensively used an autopen to sign official documents, including controversial last-minute pardons.
- Senate Republicans plan a June hearing to probe claims that Biden’s cognitive decline was concealed and question who controlled presidential decisions during his term amid rising public scrutiny.
- Trump criticized Biden’s use of the autopen as being “disrespectful to our country” and declared that clemency approvals signed this way were invalid, while Biden responded by affirming that he personally authorized all pardons, executive actions, laws, and official declarations, dismissing contrary claims as false.
- Multiple ongoing investigations and renewed media scrutiny suggest sustained controversy over Biden’s fitness to serve and the legitimacy of his document authorizations using the autopen.
