Ex-Biden aides face Thursday deadline to comply with autopen probe

  • The investigation into five former Biden aides regarding the possible unauthorized use of an autopen for signing executive orders is being led by the head of the House Oversight Committee, with interviews required by May 29, 2025.
  • The inquiry stems from concerns about whether Biden knowingly authorized record-breaking pardons and clemencies signed mechanically near the end of his presidency amid questions about his cognitive fitness.
  • Four staffers and Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, have been asked to testify but have not scheduled interviews, while the aides have legal counsel in contact with the committee.
  • Comer argued that the use of the autopen to approve these executive actions was intended to protect the White House from challenges related to President Trump and cautioned that subpoenas would be issued if there is a lack of cooperation.
  • If Biden was unaware of autopen use, the investigation’s outcome could nullify some executive orders and pardons, potentially easing Trump’s ability to execute his agenda and raising questions about presidential authority.
