Republicans Probe Alleged Biden Autopen Cover-Up as Democrats Boycott Hearing

Republican senators examined claims that Biden’s aides concealed his mental fitness with a mechanical signature device, setting the stage for potential subpoenas.

Overview

  • The June 18 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, “Unfit to Serve,” probed allegations that Biden’s administration concealed his cognitive decline through autopen signatures on executive documents.
  • Democratic members largely boycotted the proceeding, with only Sen. Dick Durbin and Sen. Peter Welch briefly attending before departing.
  • Witnesses Sean Spicer, Theodore Wold and John Harrison criticized the mainstream media and Biden aides for obscuring signs of mental unfitness.
  • The Oversight Project reported that Biden used at least three distinct autopen signatures, prompting GOP demands for staff-secretary office records.
  • Republicans indicated that future subpoenas and additional hearings will seek to determine whether Biden personally authorized each autopen use.
