“In the absence of sufficient contemporaneous documentation indicating that cognitively deteriorating President Biden himself made a given executive decision, such decisions do not carry the force of law and should be considered void,” the report warned.
Chairman Comer is demanding Attorney General Pam Bondi open an immediate investigation into all executive actions taken under Biden’s presidency — particularly his controversial pardons.
“Given the patterns and findings detailed herein,” the report continued, “this review should focus particularly on all acts of clemency. However, it should also include all other types of executive actions.”
Comer insists that every pardon bearing Biden’s name must be scrutinized — and possibly overturned — due to what he called “a total lack of proof” that Biden was involved in the process.
The Oversight report also reignited questions about Hunter Biden’s alleged involvement in presidential decision-making. Testimony from former White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients indicated that Hunter was present during internal talks about possible “preemptive pardons” for members of the Biden family — a revelation that has infuriated House Republicans.
During an interview with Laura Ingraham on Fox News, Comer didn’t mince words.
“Every person who we deposed had a different story on what the proper process was that they followed in using the autopen to sign a legal document,” Comer said on The Ingraham Angle.
He added that DOJ officials under Attorney General Merrick Garland had previously expressed concerns to Biden’s staff about the “excessive use” of the autopen, but those concerns were reportedly brushed aside.
“Their stories were inconsistent and then, when you throw in the emails from the Garland Department of Justice expressing concern to these very staffers about the excessive use of the autopen and asking point-blank questions, what was their process, then the entire story is changed. So the inconsistencies abound,” Comer added.
The Oversight Committee interviewed 14 witnesses over three months, including several longtime Biden aides, gathering more than 47 hours of testimony. Comer said the depositions revealed a disturbing pattern of secrecy within Biden’s team.
“One thing that is consistent is the fact that no one saw Joe Biden, no one who authorized the autopen or actually physically manually pressed the power button on autopen ever heard directly from Joe Biden,” Comer said Tuesday.
He went on to reveal that there were no notes, no chain of custody, and no record proving that Biden participated in meetings regarding the pardon process.
“This is appalling, and everyone in America saw during the debate and during the last few months of the Biden administration, this was a president in decline. The staffers confirmed that they would go weeks, months and even years without communicating with Joe Biden,” Comer continued.
“This is a massive cover-up, and what we determined was every pardon should be declared null and void.”
While a 2005 Department of Justice opinion under President George W. Bush allowed presidents to use an autopen for official signatures, Republicans argue the issue is not about the device — it’s about who was truly in charge.
Comer and other GOP leaders maintain that Biden’s cognitive decline calls the legitimacy of his entire presidency into question.
If proven true, the implications could be staggering — raising constitutional, legal, and national security concerns about who was making decisions in the White House while Biden was in office.
As Comer put it bluntly, the American people deserve answers — and accountability — for what he says may be one of the most egregious abuses of executive power in modern history.
