House GOP asks DOJ to probe Biden autopen use to ‘void’ pardons, other actions

House Republicans claim Biden’s autopen use enabled unauthorized executive actions amid alleged cognitive decline, urging DOJ review of 4,245 pardons and commutations for validity.

  • The House Oversight Committee has asked the Department of Justice to investigate claims that President Joe Biden's executive actions were signed using an autopen without his knowledge, calling these actions 'void'.
  • Chairman James Comer stated that aides may have conspired to conceal Biden's cognitive decline and that he was not personally involved in many decisions.
  • The Committee's report suggests that White House staff managed Biden's public appearances to hide signs of his mental decline, raising concerns about the validity of executive decisions.
  • In response, Biden has denied the claims, asserting he made all the decisions during his presidency and rejected suggestions of a cover-up.
