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.
