Ex-Biden aides face Thursday deadline to comply with autopen probe

  • The investigation into whether President Biden authorized the signing of executive orders and pardons using an autopen as of May 2025 is being led by the Republican head of the House Oversight Committee.
  • The probe emerged amid concerns about Biden's cognitive and physical health, fueled by claims of a possible cover-up by Biden's staff and family regarding his mental fitness while in office.
  • Comer's committee has requested transcribed interviews with four mostly behind-the-scenes Biden aides and President Biden’s longtime physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who has not responded to interview requests.
  • Comer told Fox News that unless voluntary cooperation is confirmed by the May 29 deadline, subpoenas are likely to be issued, and he expressed willingness to call Biden to testify if there is evidence indicating he authorized the use of the autopen.
  • The investigation’s outcome could clarify whether Biden fully controlled decisions during his presidency’s final period and reveal if aides exercised powers reserved for the president, raising constitutional and transparency concerns.
