FIRST ON FOX: The House Oversight Committee is slamming former Biden spokesman Andrew Bates after he accused Republican lawmakers of having a misguided focus in his opening remarks during the panel's autopen probe.
Bates, the latest former White House official to be interviewed by House investigators, affirmed ex-President Joe Biden's leadership while criticizing his successor in an opening statement obtained by Fox News Digital via a source familiar.
An Oversight Committee spokesperson said in response, "Andrew Bates was part of the Biden cognitive decline cover-up and he’s delusional."
"His so-called opening statement — leaked in the middle of his transcribed interview and not even read at the time it was leaked — peddled the same fantasy he’s been trying to sell the American people. The public has rejected Bates’ spin and witnessed President Biden’s decline with their own eyes," the spokesperson said.
"And just this week, new records revealed that President Biden neither approved — nor may have even been consulted on — thousands of pardons. This is a historic scandal with massive repercussions."
A Biden ally said in response, "What’s delusional is continuing to perpetuate a conspiracy theory around autopens that Comer regularly uses himself."
Bates said in the opening statement provided to Fox News Digital, "I was proud to support Joe Biden as President because we believe in the same values. In the White House, it was universally understood that Joe Biden was in charge. That is completely consistent with my personal experience with the President."
"Now someone else with a very different character is in charge," the statement said.

It has been claimed that no person writes his signature the same way. There are always subtle differences. If that is the case, the Biden signature, always the same, would indicate the use of an autopen.

Meanwhile, Trump is careful to sign important documents with video and multiple witnesses showing HIM manually signing.
Ignore the posturing and words. Follow the money.
Democrats are trained when ever anyone says anything bad about them to immediately turn the matter around with “but Trump”.
“Leaking “an opening statement before it was even made, is how the Dem partner media had the point of view of Bates, even if it is filled with lies, which they could focus on. The propaganda media will never even mention the refutations of what Bates put in his opening statement.
This is how people who consume only the propaganda media can have no idea of the truth of what happens.
Pres. Otto Penn. bump
I voted for that!
“The House Oversight Committee is slamming former Biden spokesman Andrew Bates after he accused Republican lawmakers of having a misguided focus in his opening remarks during the panel’s autopen probe. “
Sounds like he was using signing for Bidenn using autopen and now is afraid of getting exposed.
