House Panel Urges Probe of Biden’s Executive Actions

October 28, 2025 at 6:59 am ET By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“The Republican-led House Oversight Committee recommended that the Justice Department investigate all of former President Joe Biden’s executive actions, particularly clemency decisions, and determine whether he authorized them,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Washington Post: “The report is the result of a five-month-long investigation into accusations made by President Donald Trump and his allies, that aides covered up a decline in Biden’s cognitive ability, and that the Biden administration misused the presidential autopen to issue executive actions without Biden’s direct involvement.”

“The committee said its investigation found there was no record that Biden approved executive actions in several instances, including ones related to presidential pardons. The committee also said it found Biden’s autopen — a mechanical device that can replicate signatures and that presidents often use to quickly sign documents — may have been used to sign off on actions without his knowledge.”
