Overview

• Trump’s presidential memorandum tasks White House counsel and Attorney General Pam Bondi with investigating whether Biden’s aides conspired to use an autopen to conceal his cognitive decline and wield presidential authority.
• The probe will review policy documents—from pardons and executive orders to presidential memoranda—signed with an autopen and determine who authorized its use.
• House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has requested interviews with several former Biden aides and warned of subpoenas for the former president’s physician and senior staff over an alleged health cover-up.
• Biden has called the allegations “ridiculous and false,” asserting that he personally made all decisions during his term and labeling the investigation a political distraction.
• Justice Department figures including Ed Martin are coordinating the inquiry as longstanding White House autopen use faces renewed legal scrutiny.
