Trump orders investigation into Biden’s actions, claiming cognitive decline

  • President Donald Trump ordered his administration in June 2025 to investigate whether Joe Biden's aides used an autopen to sign documents without Biden's knowledge or masked his cognitive decline.
  • This inquiry follows reports about Biden's mental state, questions over his use of an autopen, and calls by Republicans for scrutiny of Biden's final executive actions amid constitutional concerns.
  • The investigations advance through House Oversight led by Rep. James Comer, DOJ examination, and a Senate effort with hearings starting June 18 focused on autopen use and alleged cover-up of Biden's capacity.
  • Legal experts say criminal charges are unlikely without strong evidence of forgery or fraud, noting longstanding autopen use by presidents and the 2024 Supreme Court ruling granting presidential immunity.
  • The probes could lead to increased congressional oversight and debates about presidential authority, but Biden and his allies deny wrongdoing and assert he made all decisions knowingly as president.
