Former President Joe Biden doubled down on his usage of an autopen on Wednesday, claiming that he had control of the White House throughout his tenure.
Alleging that senior officials concealed the former president’s cognitive impairment using autopen signings, President Donald Trump requested an investigation into Biden’s administration.
“I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false,” Biden said in a statement.
“This is nothing more than a distraction by Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans who are working to push disastrous legislation that would cut essential programs like Medicaid and raise costs on American families, all to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations,” he added.
On Wednesday, Trump urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to launch an inquiry against senior Biden officials, claiming they may have plotted to mislead the public about his mental health and exercised presidential authority by using the autopen.
