GOP-Led House Oversight Committee Says Biden's Autopen Orders Should be 'Void'

House Republicans accuse Biden's aides of unauthorized autopen use on executive actions and pardons, urging DOJ and medical board reviews amid claims of a cover-up.

  • On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee released a report examining White House logs showing former President Joe Biden’s autopen signature on multiple executive orders and clemency certificates, prompting Republican commentary from House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.
  • Lawmakers say the documents raise constitutional and procedural concerns about whether the president personally reviewed or approved the actions, citing the June 27, 2024 debate as context.
  • The Oversight panel issued a 91-page report that called on the Justice Department to investigate every executive action, and Jordan urged the department to 'take a good look' at the findings.
  • The Justice Department has received a referral to decide on further action, while Jordan argues the findings contradict Biden's assurances he knew of every clemency decision.
  • Biden told The New York Times that he authorized autopen use on clemency warrants because `we're talking about a whole lot of people`, setting up a legal and political dispute.
