Trump orders investigation into Biden’s autopen use
President Trump has ordered an investigation into former President biden’s use of an autopen, raising concerns about his mental fitness during his time in office. The order, issued Wednesday, directs the counsel to the president, in consultation with Attorney general Pam Bondi, to examine whether there was a conspiracy to mislead the public regarding Biden’s mental state and potentially unconstitutional actions.
The investigation will focus on Biden’s past use of the autopen to sign official documents. Trump initially voiced concerns about this practice last month, prompting the formal inquiry. The White House has not yet commented on the investigation.
Biden, in a statement, strongly refuted any suggestion that he wasn’t fully in charge during his presidency. He specifically addressed the decisions surrounding pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations.
“Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations,” Biden said. ”Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.”
Biden dismissed the investigation as a political maneuver by Trump and congressional Republicans, accusing them of attempting to divert attention from what he described as “disastrous legislation” that would cut essential programs and benefit the wealthy.
What’s next
The investigation is expected to proceed in the coming weeks, with the counsel to the president and the attorney general examining documents and potentially interviewing individuals involved in the former administration. The findings of the investigation will likely be made public.
