Criminals wound up working as officers for the New York City Police Department after the commander overseeing recruitment ignored their checkered past, according to court filings. Up to 31 unfit officers were allowed to serve as cops due to 'unauthorized unilateral actions' by former commanding officer NYPD Inspector Terrell Anderson, the complaint states. The recruits were allowed in despite failing psychological tests and background checks and in multiple cases, criminal records, according to the document. One aspiring officer was even found to have three arrests to their name, but was recruited anyway, the filing states. Offenses included everything from drug...

Kevin O’Connor, a presidential physician during the Biden-Harris years, recently infuriated Congress by repeatedly invoking both the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination and the tradition of physician-client privilege, when being grilled by a House committee about his care of patient Joseph R. Biden, and the question of when it became clear to all concerned that Biden was incapacitated. A current historical anniversary crystallizes the difference in how we treat this issue: Forty years ago this week, President Ronald Reagan was in the hospital recovering from colon surgery. He had gone under general anesthesia for an operation on July 13, before...

Republicans can’t stop investigating the Biden staff coup until people go to prison.. The past week finally blew the lid off the worst political corruption scandal of the 21st century. And if you’re not sure what I’m talking about, that means the criminal conspiracy behind it is already winning. The revelations of the last seven days indicate that the coverup and exploitation of former President Joe Biden’s deteriorating health by his inner circle were more treacherous than first suspected. Moreover, we now know for sure that their conspiracy is still active. Exhibit A: Last Wednesday, Joe Biden’s White House Physician,...

WASHINGTON — Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., has been leading the probe into Joe Biden’s cognitive state during his presidency, with Republicans alleging that Biden's occasional use of an “autopen” to sign documents — a practice other presidents have done as well — demonstrated that he wasn’t fully in control or aware of what his administration was doing.

The controversy surrounding Joe Biden’s last-minute “autopen” pardons is heating up fast and furious style. What began as little whispers here and there about his mental decline and shady late-night decisions has exploded into a full-blown scandal, with evidence now piling up that reveals an autopen was used to issue sweeping pardons for high-profile political figures like Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and the J6 Committee. These “preemptive pardons” raised a lot of eyebrows from the start. They were issued in the dead of night, under a cloud of suspicion, and signed not by Biden himself but by a machine....

FRIO COUNTY, Texas – KSAT Investigates received the indictment paperwork of nine suspects, including a former candidate for the Texas House and two former mayors, in connection with a massive state-led election investigation on Thursday afternoon. 81st Judicial District Attorney Audrey Gossett Louis confirmed the following people were indicted on Monday in connection with the investigation: Former Bexar County Democratic Party Chair and former San Antonio mayoral candidate Juan Manuel Medina on two counts of vote harvesting Former Pearsall Mayor Petra Davina Trevino on one count of vote harvesting Former Dilley council member Inelda Rodriguez on three counts of vote...

A Missouri pharmacist suspects the Biden autopen signature is bigger than already reported. On February 20, 2021 a Missouri pharmacist reached out to The Gateway Pundit and shared his observations on Biden’s signature to date. (This was only a few weeks after Biden stepped into the White House and no doubt one of the first observations on Joe Biden’s signature on official documents.) This pharmacist noted: I am a pharmacist in Missouri. I read a few days ago that none of Biden’s Executive Orders have been posted to the Federal Register, so I looked, then, a few days ago. Those...

President Donald Trump is helping congressional Republicans investigate his White House predecessor, Joe Biden, and the Biden administration’s extensive use of the autopen. Nine senior Biden aides have been called to testify before the House Oversight Committee, and the Trump White House decided Tuesday to waive executive privilege for the staffers, allowing committee members to grill them on the autopen use without any legal obstacles. “Evidence that aides to former President Biden concealed information regarding his fitness to exercise the powers of the President—and may have unconstitutionally exercised those powers themselves to aid in their concealment—implicates both Congress’ constitutional and...

President Trump suggested Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco was one of the autopen operators. Trump made the remarks on Tuesday during an Oval Office briefing on wildfires. A reporter asked President Trump if people should see similar ICE operations in the rest of the country after the feds conducted immigration raids in Los Angeles. President Trump said more ICE raids will take place across the country and slammed the Biden Regime for facilitating the invasion of illegal aliens. Trump said Joe Biden’s autopen – and whoever operated the autopen… like Lisa Monaco – facilitated the invasion. Recall that Lisa...

Fox News has uncovered that almost every pardon and act of clemency Biden signed for over 1,500 criminals during his final weeks in office was via autopen. These included preemptive pardons for several members of his family, Anthony Fauci, and General Mark Milley. But Biden made an exception for the man he once called “the smartest guy I know”: his only surviving son, Hunter. In the document below, you can see Joe Biden’s crooked-looking signature. As TGP’s Kristinn Taylor previously reported, Joe Biden granted his son Hunter Biden a blanket pardon in the federal gun and tax cases against him...

A third Biden autopen was discovered on Thursday amid a federal investigation into “who ran the United States while Biden was in office.” House Oversight Chairman James Comer is also spearheading a congressional investigation into Biden’s health coverup. On Wednesday President Trump directed his White House Counsel, David Warrington, in consultation with Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate “whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden’s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.” Trump announced: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing an investigation into who ran the United States...

The Heritage Foundation claims that, “Biden’s name was signed using an autopen on nearly every executive order and official document during his four-year tenure.” Did he delegate the decision to approve and sign, or did he direct someone to use the autopen on his behalf? If so, why couldn’t he sign these documents himself? President Trump signed 143 executive orders during the first 100 days of his second term, setting a record; most of these signings took place in front of the media and were video recorded. Why couldn’t President Biden do the same? If he was unable to sign...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) said that part of the reason for the coverup of former President Joe Biden’s mental fitness is because Democrats feared being honest would help Donald Trump. CNN host and “Original Sin” co-author Jake Tapper asked, “[D]on’t you think, also, one of the issues for your party was the idea that Donald Trump, Democrats perceived him to be an existential threat to the world and only Joe Biden had ever beaten Donald Trump, therefore, he had to be the nominee again and any word that deviated from that was helping...

A pro-energy group scrutinized eight of former President Joe Biden's executive orders which pertained to climate and energy issues, but their research found no evidence that Biden ever spoke publicly about the contents of the climate change-oriented EOs. The group also asserts that the signatures on the EOs match Biden's autopen signature instead of his genuine signature, thus calling into question whether the president ever knew about the executive orders. Power the Future, the organization who examined the orders, is now urging investigations from multiple bodies to determine if Biden knew of the executive orders and, if not, who did,...

Committee investigation.. The House Oversight Committee is investigating the use of the autopen in Biden's administration. The committee is seeking interviews with four former Biden staffers and Biden's physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, to determine whether the autopen was used to sign executive orders and pardons without Biden’s knowledge. Staffer involvement.. The staffers queried were not widely known to the public but could have acted as "de facto presidents," according to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, who claims these individuals were instrumental in White House operations. Cognitive ability concerns.. The investigation focuses partly on Biden’s cognitive health, with Comer suggesting...

As questions swirl about Joe Biden’s cognitive state and absentee leadership, new scrutiny is falling on the use of the presidential autopen by Biden’s staffers, an automated signature device that has been used to sign executive orders and potentially even pardons. These staffers, if these reports are accurate, could have engaged in multiple ongoing felonies. House Oversight Chair Jim Comer (R-KY) has said legislative subpoenas are being sent out, but what crimes could they be pursuing? And something many are asking online: will anyone ever be charged with any crimes? Nearly all of Biden’s official signatures were done with the...

Jill Biden’s former press secretary Michael LaRosa went off on the Bidens for concealing one scandal after another. “This was a group in the White House who were allergic to transparency, and I’m talking about just in the East Wing. The very first day walking into the White House, the usher was fired, and I couldn’t get reporters straight answers, because nobody would give me straight answers,” LaRosa said on Fox & Friends. Michael LaRosa said the Bidens lied about everything from the dogs biting secret service agents to wedding arrangements. “They took days and months to be deliberative, and...

During a revealing segment on Mark Halperin's show "2WAY Tonight," Senior Trump DOJ official Ed Martin dropped a political bombshell. Martin named names in the growing scandal surrounding President Joe Biden’s — or someone's — use of the autopen, the mechanical device used to sign official documents. According to Martin, the issue isn’t the use of the autopen itself, but who was really in charge of it while Biden’s cognitive state was in steep decline.

A constitutional law expert says Trump should do what Biden did: waive executive privilege to release Biden White House records. Now that Jake Tapper and crew have had their epiphany about the meat puppet that periodically occupied the White House for the previous four years, it’s long past time congress find out who knew what and when about President Joe Biden’s addled mind. The Republican-led House Oversight and Accountability Committee is preparing to hold hearings into what is shaping up to be the worst cover-up in U.S. presidential history. Word this week that Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive...

DOJ Pardon Attorney Ed Martin discussed Biden’s growing autopen scandal this week with journalist Mark Halperin on the “2WAY Tonight” podcast. Last Tuesday Ed Martin said that the Justice Department is reviewing Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons since it has become increasingly clear he was incapacitated during his presidency. Ed Martin this Tuesday revealed he wrote to the Biden family and others and a senior Democrat whistleblower came forward with shocking allegations. A couple of people “lawyered up” Ed Martin said. “The Biden pardons are unprecedented,” he added. “I had a whistleblower in my office 10 day ago, senior, senior Democrat...
