There may be debate as as to if the pardons and actions might be voided whether it is confirmed that an autopen was used.
Comer argues the necessity for transparency, calling the “cover-up” a major scandal in American historical past.
“The American individuals deserve full transparency and the Home Oversight Committee is conducting a radical investigation to supply solutions and accountability. The duvet-up of President Biden’s psychological decline is without doubt one of the best scandals in our nation’s historical past. These 5 former senior advisors had been eyewitnesses to President Biden’s situation and operations throughout the Biden White Home. They have to seem earlier than the Home Oversight Committee and supply truthful solutions about President Biden’s cognitive state and who was calling the pictures,” mentioned the congressman.
Comer’s deal with the 5 people stems from a e book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, Unique Sin, which the congressman quoted as claiming, “5 individuals had been working the nation, and Joe Biden was at finest a senior member of the board.”
