House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has expressed support for President Donald Trump’s decision to terminate executive actions that were signed by President Joe Biden using an autopen. In a statement, Comer said, “I applaud President Trump for deeming President Biden’s autopen actions null and void. The House Oversight Committee recently exposed how the Biden Autopen Presidency is one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history. As Americans witnessed President Biden’s decline with their own eyes, Biden’s inner circle sought to deceive the public, conceal his condition, and take unauthorized executive actions using the autopen—actions that are now invalid. The House Oversight Committee delivered crucial transparency, and now President Trump and his administration are delivering accountability.”
The announcement follows a recent staff report released by the committee titled “The Biden Autopen Presidency: Decline, Delusion, and Deception in the White House.” According to the report, top advisors to President Biden concealed information about his health from the public and facilitated executive actions without his direct approval. The committee claims that aides misused the autopen device and did not properly document how decisions were made.
As part of its investigation, Chairman Comer sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi requesting a comprehensive review by the Department of Justice into all executive actions taken during Biden's presidency. He also asked for scrutiny of key aides—Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Annie Tomasini, and Anthony Bernal—who invoked their Fifth Amendment rights during questioning. Additionally, Comer contacted the District of Columbia Board of Medicine to request a review of Dr. O’Connor’s medical care provided to former president Biden.
