James Comer Announces New Investigation into Joe Biden – Really
Rep. James Comer (R-KY), who chairs the House Oversight Committee, announced he is launching a new investigation into former President Joe Biden’s administration.
On Friday, Comer – not to be confused with that similar-sounding guy in the news right now – announced his committee will probe Biden’s use of an autopen to sign presidential pardons. In March, President Donald Trump alleged on social media that Biden signed pardons with an autopen, a device that reproduces one’s signature. As a result, Trump claimed, Biden’s pardons were void. The White House press secretary later walked that back.
Republicans have maintained that Biden was so out of it as president, he may not have known who he was pardoning or even if he was signing the pardons himself.
“He clearly shows that he was in significant mental decline,” Comer told Fox News on Friday night, referring to newly leaked audio of a confused Biden answering questions in 2023 about his retention of classified documents. “It questions who was actually making the decisions. So, what we found is, not just with the pardons he issued but many of the executive orders that the courts are now using to Trump-proof many of the executive orders that President Trump is trying to implement to make the government more efficient, many of these executive orders, as well as the pardons of Biden’s entire family as the result of our investigation, these were all signed with the autopen.”
Comer became a fixture on Fox News, Newsmax, and other right-wing media outlets in 2023, where he teased findings of his committee’s investigation into Biden and his son Hunter Biden. That year, Comer appeared on Fox News or Fox Business more than 200 times. The lawmaker pointed to the younger Biden’s foreign business dealings and do-nothing job on the board of a Ukrainian energy company as evidence of an influence-peddling scheme. Ultimately, even though Comer strongly suggested he had uncovered impeachable offenses by Joe Biden, the Republican-controlled House did not take up articles of impeachment.
