House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer of Kentucky has ratcheted up the congressional investigation into the Biden Administration’s handling of the president’s mental health and the possible unauthorized use of autopen for executing high-level executive actions, including controversial pardons, such as the pardon of Hunter Biden, Liz Cheney, Anthony Fauci, and Mark Milley.
Comer issued formal letters demanding transcribed interviews with several former White House officials and President Joe Biden’s longtime physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor. Those requested to appear include Neera Tanden, Anthony Bernal, Annie Tomasini, and Ashley Williams, all former senior staffers in the Biden White House.
“The cover-up of President Biden’s obvious mental decline is a historic scandal,” Comer said. “The American people deserve to know when this decline began, how far it progressed, and who was making critical decisions on his behalf.”
The investigation follows revelations that key executive actions, such as broad pardons issued earlier this year before Biden left office, may have been signed using autopen, a device that replicates a person’s signature. Critics argue the use of autopen in such circumstances raises serious constitutional and ethical questions if the president was not mentally capable of authorizing the decisions himself.
Comer previously subpoenaed the same officials during the last Congress, but the Biden White House blocked their participation. In addition, a subpoena for audio recordings from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Biden’s mishandling of classified documents was defied by Attorney General Merrick Garland. They can’t block it now.
The inquiry has drawn renewed attention after excerpts from a forthcoming book, Original Sin, described a chaotic internal dynamic within the White House. According to the book, a source familiar with senior staff operations claimed, “Five people were running the country, and Joe Biden was at best a senior member of the board.”
Comer is seeking answers from Dr. O’Connor regarding Biden’s mental and cognitive evaluations, and whether the president had the capacity to carry out the duties of his office when key decisions were made. The committee has also targeted aides who reportedly shielded Biden from public scrutiny or made decisions on his behalf.
Adding fuel to the debate, Ed Martin, in charge of investigating the autopen scandal, recently named several figures he believes could have played a role in approving autopen use or participating in the decision-making process, including Tanden, Bernal, Tomasini, and Williams.
Despite public statements from Biden’s Cabinet and Democratic members of the Oversight Committee claiming the president remains “sharp” and “on top of his game,” Comer and House Republicans argue the pattern of obstruction and growing reports of internal dysfunction point to a broader cover-up.
The committee’s investigation is ongoing, and Chairman Comer has indicated that any refusal to comply with congressional oversight will result in “swift and decisive action.”
Time to put a gallows on the White House lawn, for effect if not practical use.
Biden looks like that inbred kid who played the banjo on Deliverance. Creepy!
Oh my. Unlike the last four years, any referrals from the Oversight Committee to the Justice Department by the actors for non-cooperation and prevarication will be taken seriously. The Biden political hacks will want to lawyer-up quickly. That could be expensive. Tragic.
The investigation is largely a waste of time and resources. But please, what you do learn, use to destroy what’s left of the democrat party and the msm. Were crimes committed that should be punished? Of course – but the more we go after them the more it will come back to hurt us.
Biden was never the sharpest guy from Day one of his political Career, Only the Brain Dead could not see that Biden was basicly a walking and stumbling invalid. This was evident even while he was Vice President under Obama numerous times, but he was not under the microscope as much. That’s Exactly why Obama chose him as a running mate. Obama placed so many people in Government who are shills even today, and he knew he could direct old Joe into anything and he wouldn’t understand how he was being used. The Obama’s and Countless other Liberal /Proggressive loons were steering the Ship all thru Biden’s Tenure and even in his Run for the presidency in 2020. Anyone with half a brain could see what was going on with Biden atleast 18 years ago, even when he ran against Obama in 08 it was becoming noticeable . Of course Biden’s Mental State has progressed downward over time , but it was very evident even in 08, he started off being an overly aggressive blow hard who made very little sense on most topics and issues. His family, his Freinds and Obama used the old hasbien for nearly 2 decades that I know of . actually it’s kinda sad as I see it, and is a Very sneaky and disgusting form of elder abuse that’s been played out for atleast 15 years …
UNFORTUNATELY…
THE DAMAGE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE TO THIS COUNTRY AND IT’S PEOPLE!! IT TOOK OBAMA’S AND BIDEN’S TIME IN OFFICE TO CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS HIS WORK CUT OUT FOR HIMSELF! GOD SPEED SIR!
2020 elections were Stolen by traitors like Lisa Murkoski, and the cheat system is being used. Eliminate Mail In voting, Dominion voting machines and Rank choice voting.
He was way too old and infirm to be president and some of his policy showed it. Appreciate the article.
I also wonder…Why no MRA article about Trump’s new ultra luxury plane with less capability than the one we have?
Why no article about about the 3+trillion deficit increaser called the big beautiful bill?
Neither one of these things seems particularity conservative – would be interesting to hear take on them
Comer did nothing with his Biden impeachment investigation and he is not going to do anything with his investigation of the biggest open secret of Biden’s presidency. OBTW, Comer stop gaslighting….swift and decisive action….sure, ok, Got Ya, I’m holding my breath.
Biden couldn’t find his way to the West Wing restroom alone. The Democrats have been gaming America for years. Decades.
Whoops!
Biden was brain dead. We all saw it. They all knew it. This was hidden on purpose and up until his disastrous appearance at the debate they had every intention of installing him for four more years…
Talk about “threat to democracy”, oh brother.
Irrational, nonsensical, smarmy vitriol from Whidbey CMAN rino in 3,2,1…
Nothing will happen. The mainstream media will publish none of this and shame those who bring it up by saying leave poor old Joe alone. This will die on the vine.
Jim, I fear you have nailed the outcome. It is so apparent that this attitude carries over to all the “Holy Polys” of the Deep State. No accountability, no obligations to prosecute, all will eventually escape any form of justice.
No orange jumpsuits or hearing clanking of chains on the court house floor for the Holy Poly. only for the peasant “Cake Eaters”.
Cheers,
Al
I know for a fact that Joe Biden did not sign at least one of those pardons. When Hunter was convicted, Joe publicly said he was not going to pardon his son.
And, Joe Biden never lies.
Phony bastard. His entire cabinet and family who are apparently criminals as we learned with last minute pardons, hang them all. They are all a waste of good breathing air.
I believe the American voters are especially concerned with an insider cabal of Biden consigliere (in addition to close Biden family) who delegated the role of POTUS away from the stooge candidate installed in the oval office. Equally horrific is the complicity of the leftist legacy media who spun away from abusive truth to demonize contrary and dissenters. They were crucial to confusing public opinion. These executive branch advisers played a critical role in the efforts to deconstruct America and do away with the Constitution, obliterate our economy while devaluing the dollar. No one elected these people to act IN PLACE of an American President. We can only have faith and push for the current ADMINISTRATION and DOJ to investigate and bring to justice these elitist tyrants. America demands legal and ethical consequences.
