U.S. House Republicans are zeroing in on the use of an autopen by former President Joe Biden that is believed to have been used for sensitive pardons and executive orders signed in the final days and hours of his administration, including several for his closest family members.
New revelations about the declining mental acuity of Biden have prompted House Oversight Chair James Comey (R-KY) to deepen his investigation into whether Biden was lucid and approving of the pardons and orders, or whether those around him forged ahead to protect Hunter Biden, James Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and others from future criminal prosecution.
For the past year, many of the players involved were saying “they had just talked to Biden, [and] he was tip-top, great physical condition, he was at the top of his game,” Comey said in a recent interview. “Now they’re coming back saying, ‘Yeah, looks like he was in mental decline.'”
Central to the investigation will be who in the Biden White House authorized the use of an autopen, a tool traditionally utilized by heads of state for the signing of less prominent resolutions, executive orders, or legislation requiring an official signature. Comey and other critics say that, given Biden’s declining mental health, it’s very likely he was unaware of how his signature was being used by others.
