Trump firmly stands by his allegations, lacking evidence, that Biden's advisors unlawfully utilized an autopen to sign documents.
Donald Trump Doubles Down on Biden Mental State Claims
Hey there! Let's dive into the latest uproar involving our former and current presidents, shall we?
Yesterday, ol' Trump ordered the Justice Department and White House to investigate ex-Prez Joe Biden's mental state while he was in office. And guess what? He's not backing down. He's still shouting about Biden being a puppet, using his autopen to enact "radical" policies.
Now, Biden's squashed those allegations flat, explaining that he was the one in charge, no debate about that. But Trump ain't having it – he calls the use of the autopen "the biggest scandal maybe in the last 100 years." He's convinced his administration is capable of recognizing which of Biden's executive orders were signed with an autopen, and claims it was used to push through "open borders" and transgender rights policies Biden supposedly didn't support.
"He didn't have a clue what was going on," Trump told reporters. "Essentially, whoever used the autopen was the president. That's illegal, it's horrible, it's disrespectful to our country."
Biden's fired back, calling Trump's probe a "distraction" from his attempts to gut essential programs like Medicaid and push disastrous legislation benefiting the ultra-wealthy and big corporations.
Attorney General Pam Bondi's kept mum on Trump's directive. The Justice Department declined to comment when our reporter asked about it.
Meanwhile, Trump's pals Senators Eric Schmitt and John Cornyn are co-chairing a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to discuss these allegations about Biden's mental state.
Behind the scenes, it's anyone's guess what's really going on. Critics see Trump's investigation as a political tactic rather than a serious legal inquiry[4]. On the contrary, Trump claims he's rooting out a cover-up of President Joe Biden's cognitive decline[5]. But when our reporter asked Trump what evidence he had, he just shook his head and pointed to the "human mind."

In the ongoing political discourse, Donald Trump's investigation into Joe Biden's alleged mental state during his presidency continues, with Trump adamant that Biden was not making informed decisions due to the usage of an autopen. This investigation, according to critics, is seen as a political tactic rather than a serious legal inquiry. Concurrently, Senator Eric Schmitt and John Cornyn are leading a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to discuss these allegations, with Trump claiming he's rooting out a cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline. The human mind, as Trump alludes, remains a subject of much debate and speculation in the realm of politics, war-and-conflicts, policy-and-legislation, general news, and opinion.
