WASHINGTON, DC - House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) dropped a bombshell last month regarding former President Joe Biden’s use of the autopen, according to The Western Journal.
As Law Enforcement Today has previously reported, controversy has arisen after it was revealed that Biden used the autopen almost exclusively during his one and only term as president. Some Republicans have questioned the legitimacy of his executive orders and pardons. It is now being revealed that in his last 100 days in office, there was more activity than in the first three and a half years combined.
Comer told Fox News Sean Hannity that he had identified those responsible for effectively doing the work of Biden by signing executive orders and pardons via autopen. He said he will issue subpoenas to those White House staffers who do not voluntarily submit to an interview.
While speaking with Hannity, Comer said he had received some results of that probe.
In his interview, Comer revealed he had uncovered a significant uptick in pardons and executive orders in Biden’s last 100 days in office. Four staffers who were asked for interviews “lawyered up” instead.
“There was more activity [using the autopen] in the last 100 days of the Biden administration than the first three and a half years of the Biden administration,” the Kentucky Republican told Hannity.
“Many of the far-reaching executive orders were signed during the last 100 days, and they were all signed by autopen,” Comer added.
“The four staffers that we’ve asked to come in for transcribed interviews, they have all lawyered up,” Comer said.
“They are taking this very seriously, and this is going to be a battle to get to the truth.”
Comer said thus far, two components of the Biden autopen scandal have come forth.
First, the autopen, which replicates a signature in place of, in this case, Biden, was used. Secondly, 10 months after Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential race, the left, or parts of it, are admitting that Biden was cognitively impaired and therefore unfit to serve as commander in chief.
“Anything pertaining to the law has to be signed by a person,” Comer told Hannity. “No one in the Biden administration is denying that the autopen was used. No one now is denying that Joe Biden wasn’t mentally fit to make some of these decisions.”
The only issue Republicans and Democrats cannot seem to agree on is when exactly Biden became unable to serve. The 100-day period began five months after Biden's disastrous performance during his one and only debate with President Trump, which led to even his most ardent supporters asking him to withdraw from the race.
Some of the actions Biden took as his term wound down included pardons of Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, members of the Jan. 6 committee, and members of his family, including Hunter Biden.
The committee is interested in knowing whether or not it was Biden signing executive orders and pardons.
