Rep. Comer to Newsmax: No Evidence Biden Approved Autopen Use

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told Newsmax on Tuesday that no witness from the Biden administration testified that President Joe Biden personally authorized the use of the presidential autopen for pardons, despite the Constitution making clear that only a sitting president can exercise the pardon power.

Comer appeared on “Finnerty,” where he said the investigation shows Biden was isolated from decision-making, with staff allegedly carrying out presidential actions in his place.

“This investigation proved what we all seen with our own eyes, that Joe Biden was in a mental decline, that his staff shielded him not just from the American people, but from their inside circle, from the staffers, from the normal staffers that work with the president on a day-to-day basis. They went weeks, months, and years without communicating with Joe Biden,” he said.
