Trump initiates probe into alleged scheme to conceal Biden's health deterioration
Trump's latest move accuses former President Biden's aides of abusing presidential power, allegedly utilizing an autopen to hide Biden's cognitive decline. This explosive claim, initiated by Trump, sets forth an investigation targeting individuals suspected of deceiving the public and misusing presidential authority.
In the past, Republicans have been vocal about Biden's supposed intellectual decline, casting doubt on his fitness for the role of Commander-in-Chief. They argue that his occasional absence from public view and reluctance to grant interviews are telling signs of a faltering leader unable to handle the demanding position. They further suggest that his team covered up his physical and cognitive decline, deciding for him and replicating his signature for reckless executive actions.
The inquiry, led by the Counsel to the President, in consultation with the Attorney General and heads of various executive departments, will dive deep into the suspected conspiracy. It will delve into the rationales behind the use of the autopen, the individuals behind the purported autopen-signed documents, and the supposed unconstitutional exploitation of presidential powers.
The investigation's findings could unearth startling revelations, and if autopen usage without Biden's full awareness is proven, the legitimacy of those actions could be brought into question. It's worth noting that presidential autopen use is not unheard of, with previous administrations employing the practice [1].
As the dust settles, it remains to be seen how the investigation will unfold and what the consequences might be. Meanwhile, Biden's team has yet to comment on these severe allegations, and House Republicans are reportedly prepared to subpoena Biden aides, adding yet another layer of intrigue to this saga [2].
