Oct. 28 (UPI) -- The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday asked the Justice Department to investigate former President Joe Biden's use of the autopen to sign executive orders and pardons.
The request came after the committee released a report on its investigation into Biden's use of the autopen and whether it indicated an administration coverup of an alleged cognitive decline.
In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., chairman of the committee, accused Biden's aides of coordinating "a cover-up of the president's diminishing faculties."
Over the summer, the oversight committee interviewed more than a dozen former aides and advisers to Biden. Among those who appeared before the committee were former chiefs of staff Ron Klein and Jeff Zients, and Biden's former physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, who invoked the Fifth Amendment.
