US EditionTrump orders investigation into Biden’s actions, claiming cognitive decline
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump instructed his administration to probe into President Joe Biden's deployment of an autopen for signing documents and raised concerns about alleged declines in Biden's cognitive abilities during his time in office.
- Trump claims aides may have signed documents without Biden's consent amid questions about Biden's mental fitness, while Biden denied these allegations in a statement the same day.
- The investigations focus on whether Biden authorized executive actions personally or through mechanical signatures, with House Republicans seeking interviews from top Biden aides and his physician.
- Legal experts warn that proving unauthorized autopen use is difficult, requiring evidence of forgery and intent, and note longstanding autopen use by presidents including Biden and Trump.
- The probing may lead to congressional oversight and potential constitutional reform about presidential authority, but outcomes like criminal charges or invalidation of actions remain uncertain.
