House Republicans on the Oversight Committee released a 93-page report on Tuesday alleging that former President Joe Biden’s staff concealed his cognitive decline and authorized executive actions without proper documentation — a report they claim exposes what they call “the Biden Autopen Presidency.”
The report, which the committee described as the culmination of a months-long investigation, asserts that some executive actions and clemency decisions signed during Biden’s presidency may lack proof of authorization.
“The Biden Autopen Presidency ranks among the greatest scandals in U.S. history,” the report states. “As President Biden declined, his staff abused the autopen and a lax chain-of-command policy to effect executive actions that lack any documentation of whether they were in fact authorized.”
“While President Biden became progressively less able to do his job—when every measure should have been taken to document and, if ever questioned, prove that President Biden had made final decisions—White House staff took shortcuts and ad hoc actions to keep the Biden presidency afloat,” the committee wrote. “The Committee has found that there was, in fact, a cover-up of the president’s cognitive decline and that there is no record demonstrating President Biden himself made all of the executive decisions that were attributed to him.”
Following the release of the report, the GOP-led committee sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to review whether Joe Biden clemency orders signed via autopen — a mechanical device that reproduces a president’s signature — may be invalid.
The letter also calls on the Department of Justice to investigate whether any aides acted unlawfully in facilitating the autopen approvals. The report takes particular aim at Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who invoked his Fifth Amendment right against testifying, as well as senior aides Anthony Bernal and Annie Tomasini, who also declined to answer questions. Republicans said all three “should face further scrutiny” from the Justice Department.
The committee asserted that it “deems void President Biden’s executive actions that were signed using the autopen” and called on Bondi to take “appropriate prosecutorial action” against Biden aides who may have facilitated the signatures.
The report alleged a “cover-up of the president’s cognitive decline” and claimed there was “no record demonstrating President Biden himself made all of the executive decisions that were attributed to him.”
Biden has repeatedly dismissed claims about his mental fitness, telling reporters he personally made all decisions.
