President Donald J. Trump has initiated an investigation into the executive actions taken during President Joe Biden's administration. On June 4, 2025, Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum to review who exercised presidential powers while Biden was in office.
The memorandum addresses concerns over President Biden's cognitive health and the use of an autopen for signing documents. The investigation aims to determine if Biden personally authorized these actions or if they were carried out by others.
"Restoring presidential accountability" is a key motive behind this initiative, according to Trump. He asserts that "Americans deserve answers as to whether President Biden signed these documents, and if not, who signed them, and under what circumstances."
