Comer unleashes on Biden, demands DOJ probe of autopen use in scathing new report
Fox News ^ | Elizabeth Elkind

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., is demanding the Department of Justice (DOJ) conduct a "comprehensive" investigation into former President Joe Biden’s autopen use.

The committee’s GOP majority released a 100-page report on Tuesday morning detailing findings from its months-long probe into Biden’s White House, specifically whether his inner circle covered up signs of mental decline in the ex-president, and if that alleged cover-up extended to executive actions signed via autopen without Biden’s full awareness.

"Faced with the cognitive decline of President Joe Biden, White House aides — at the direction of the inner circle — hid the truth about the former president’s condition and fitness for office," the report said.

The report also detailed a "haphazard documentation process" for pardons made by Biden, which the committee argued left room for doubt over whether the former president made those decisions himself.

"In the absence of sufficient contemporaneous documentation indicating that cognitively deteriorating President Biden himself made a given executive decision, such decisions do not carry the force of law and should be considered void," the GOP report said.

"The Department of Justice should immediately conduct a review of all executive actions taken by President Biden between January 20, 2021, and January 19, 2025. Given the patterns and findings detailed herein, this review should focus particularly on all acts of clemency. However, it should also include all other types of executive actions."

In addition to concerns about who signed off on Biden’s executive actions, Comer spent part of the report raising concerns about Hunter Biden’s role in the pardon process.

A Congressman from KY not dumping on Trump and proposing doing something useful. Refreshing.

Bondi should be on top of this, but, no. Nowhere to be found. That said, this scandal has disappeared down the rabbit hole like every other headline under her watch.

"Coming Soon! Indictments that will shake the halls of DC!" Then, nothing.

Okay, let’s assume that Comer proves an atropen was used. What does he think Congress and or Blondi is going to do?

You guys are pathetic losers who jealously hate an attractive woman who exceeds your intellect and capabilities by a hundred fold.

I thought Free Republic was pro MAGA but there are several here who don’t tolerate the President and how he governs.

Concerns were rampant about who signed off on the decrepit deteriorating Biden’s “executive actions.” House leader Comer also raised concerns about ne’er do well Hunter Biden’s role in the pardon process.


Unelected Hunter was said to have sat in on daddy’s Cabinet meetings.

Hunter Biden has attended meetings with dad President Joe Biden and his top aides, and has raised questions about Hunter’s involvement..... and easy access.... to sensitive US govt information that impacts American families.

Hunter was often at the White House. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed his attendance at official meetings.

Hunter Biden has been in and around meetings with President Biden and senior White House staff.

Sources describe him as “popping into” a couple of meetings and even on official phone calls.

White House staff have expressed surprise at his presence at these official meetings.

Concerns have been raised by House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner, who sent a letter requesting information
<><>about Hunter’s presence at official meetings
<><>and whether classified information was discussed in his presence.

Given money-hungry Hunter’s propensity to seek out foreign buyers, attention should be given to his activities when in possession of official WH data.

Biden addressed an audience in Boston on Sunday night after receiving the “Lifetime Achievement Award?” from the Edward M. Kennedy Institute. Biden said America depends on a presidency with limited power, a functioning Congress and an autonomous judiciary.


Not a president like Biden who brings his money-hungry good-for-nothing son to official meetings.

“Okay, let’s assume that Comer proves an atropen was used. What does he think Congress and or Blondi is going to do?”

I don’t know about them, but anything signed by the autopen with the exception of fan mail replies is null and void. I will feel no compulsion to comply.
