Biden probe to focus on alleged use of autopen

  • The Trump administration has launched an investigation into former President Joe Biden's actions, alleging his aides concealed his “cognitive decline” and questioning who was truly running the country during his presidency.
  • The investigation will examine Biden's executive actions and the alleged use of an 'autopen' to sign official documents, for which no evidence has yet been presented.
  • Biden has responded to the claims as “ridiculous” and “false,” saying that he made all the decisions regarding pardons, executive orders, and legislation during his presidency.
  • White House counsel David Warrington will lead the investigation, with Attorney General Pam Bondi consulting.
  • Democrats, including Congressman Dan Goldman, have criticized the investigation as a distraction from President Donald Trump's controversies.
