JUST IN: Oversight Committee Declares Biden’s Autopen Actions ‘Void’ In Bombshell Report

Published

House Oversight Chair James Comer is turning up the heat on Joe Biden — demanding the Justice Department launch a full-blown investigation into what he calls the “autopen presidency.”

In a bombshell 100-page report released Tuesday, Comer’s Republican-led committee accused Biden’s inner circle of hiding his mental decline and using an autopen — a mechanical signature device — to greenlight executive actions, pardons, and other decisions without his full awareness.

“Faced with the cognitive decline of President Joe Biden, White House aides — at the direction of the inner circle — hid the truth about the former president’s condition and fitness for office,” the report charged.

The report slammed what it called a “haphazard documentation process” for Biden’s presidential pardons, claiming it raised doubts about whether the then-president personally approved them.

“In the absence of sufficient contemporaneous documentation indicating that cognitively deteriorating President Biden himself made a given executive decision, such decisions do not carry the force of law and should be considered void,” the GOP report stated.

Comer is calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi to review every executive action taken between Biden’s inauguration and his exit — particularly his controversial pardons. “Given the patterns and findings detailed herein,” the report continued, “this review should focus particularly on all acts of clemency. However, it should also include all other types of executive actions.”

The Oversight probe also raised eyebrows over Hunter Biden’s alleged involvement in the pardon process. Former chief of staff Jeff Zients told investigators that Hunter was present for discussions about “preemptive pardons” granted to members of the Biden family.

“It was towards the end,” Zients testified, according to the report. “What comes to mind is the family discussions. But I don’t know — that doesn’t mean that was it. It was the pardons towards the end, very end of the administration. And I think it was a few meetings, not many meetings.”

The committee said Zients “testified that President Biden included his son, Hunter Biden, in the decision-making process for and meetings about pardons.” That reportedly included talks about pardoning five Biden family members, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, and even members of Congress tied to the Jan. 6 select subcommittee.

A Biden spokesperson blasted the probe as “baseless.”

Over the course of three months, the Oversight Committee interviewed 14 witnesses — many of them longtime Biden aides — in more than 47 hours of testimony. Comer said their answers painted a disturbing picture of denial and cover-up.

“Throughout the Committee’s investigation, senior Biden White House aides presented a perspective of President Biden’s cognitive health completely disconnected from that of the American public,” the report said. “Not one of the Committee’s 14 witnesses was willing to admit that they ever had a concern about President Biden being in cognitive decline.”

In fact, Comer noted, many witnesses “could not recall having a single conversation about President Biden’s cognitive health with anyone inside or outside of the White House.”

The Kentucky Republican’s demand for a DOJ probe marks the latest escalation in what has become one of Washington’s biggest political scandals.
