Overview

• President Trump signed a presidential memorandum directing counsel David Warrington and Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate if Biden’s aides conspired to conceal his mental state by using an autopen.
• The inquiry will review thousands of documents, including last-minute pardons and executive orders, to determine if they were signed mechanically without Biden’s awareness.
• The Justice Department has long held that autopen use is legally valid, but investigators will seek records on who authorized each signature and whether Biden approved them.
• House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer has subpoenaed five former Biden aides and plans transcribed interviews to probe any cover-up of the former president’s cognitive decline.
• Joe Biden has rejected the allegations as “ridiculous and false,” insisting he personally made all decisions during his administration and accusing Republicans of diversion tactics.
