Trump orders probe of Biden mental state in office

President Trump Initiates Investigation of Biden’s Cognitive State
President Donald J. Trump, demonstrating his commitment to transparency and accountability, has initiated an official investigation into the actions of former President Joe Biden. The scrutiny particularly surrounds Biden’s cognitive capabilities towards the tail end of his presidency. This investigation will be led by the counsel to the president, alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Scope of the Investigation
The probe aims to unearth whether there was any conspiracy to mislead the public about Biden’s mental fitness and to determine if there was any unconstitutional exercise of presidential duties. Central to the investigation is Biden’s usage of the “autopen” in signing official documents, a method that has raised eyebrows among conservative circles questioning his capacity to perform presidential functions.
Pertinent aspects under investigation also include Biden’s assigning over two hundred judges to the federal bench, the passage of thousands of clemency orders, and the authentication of over a thousand presidential documents.
Biden Defends His Competence
In response to President Trump’s investigative order, former President Biden staunchly defended his actions and decision-making during his term. He contested any insinuations that he was not at the helm of his administration, stating, “I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.” Biden accused President Trump and his Republican colleagues of using this investigation as a tactic to divert attention from their legislative agenda, which he claims prioritizes the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.
Reactions and Further Actions

Supporters of Biden argue that the use of an autopen is a routine practice and supported by legal precedents. They also note the broad constitutional powers granted to a president regarding issues of clemency. However, new literature, exemplified by the recently released book “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” has sparked renewed discourse on Biden’s mental state during his presidency.
In a related development, Ed Martin, the White House pardon attorney under Trump, is reviewing all controversial pardons, notably those granted to Biden’s family members during the final days of his office. Additionally, House Republicans have been actively consulting former aides to Biden as part of their comprehensive investigation into his mental acuity. The Justice Department has recently made public the complete recordings of Biden’s sessions with special counsel Robert Hur, which had initially raised issues about potential memory lapses.
As these investigative steps unfold, they underscore the GOP’s persistent vigilance in ensuring that leadership accountability isn’t just a principle, but a practiced norm.
