A Whiff of Scandal: Was Biden Unfit? Trump Launches Investigation into Biden's Mental Capacity
Is Biden's political capability in question? Trump initiates probe - Was Biden's behavior questionable?
Worrying allegations about the mental fitness of our previous president, Joe Biden, are gaining traction, with President Donald Trump ordering an investigation. Key government departments, including the Department of Justice, are set to examine whether the Democrats intentionally hid Biden's true mental and physicial state to deceive the public and committed constitutional breaches during his tenure.
"This scandal is one of the most detrimental and troubling in American history," Trump asserted. In the latter half of Biden's presidency (2021-2025), there were repeated attempts to hide the truth about his mental and physical condition, as his true state was deliberately concealed from public view. Furthermore, Biden's signature was forged on documents using a special machine - an autopen - even when there were evident signs that he was no longer fit to occupy the office.
Trump once again took refuge in a popular conspiracy theory among right-wing circles, which states that decisions made by Biden, such as pardons prior to the end of his term, were null and void because an autopen was used. This theory suggests that Biden neither signed the documents himself nor was aware of their existence, leading to abuse of power by his aides.
It's worth noting that presidents before Biden have also utilized mechanical signature assistance for pardons and other documents. While Trump himself admitted months ago that he used an autopen, it was only for unimportant papers. In contrast, Biden's signature was used in significant decisions, as mentioned in the recently published memorandum.
Allegations of Biden's 'Cognitive Decline'
The 82-year-old Democrat, who has now left office, was characterized by years of 'cognitive decline', in stark contrast to Trump, who is three and a half years his junior. This is why Biden's press conferences and media appearances, particularly considering his current treatment for prostate cancer, have become increasingly scarce.
In his memorandum, Trump alleges that Biden pardoned numerous serious criminals. However, it’s worth mentioning that, suspiciously, Trump himself pardoned all those involved in the January 6, 2021 Capitol storm just hours after the start of his second term - including violent criminals who brutally attacked police officers and prominent white supremacists who orchestrated the attack from a distance.
Biden has vehemently denied these allegations, stating, "Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false." Biden further described the investigation as a political distraction, pointing out the catastrophic tax and spending bill Trump is currently pushing through Congress.

Biden's Mental Fitness: A Contentious Issue
Claims regarding former President Joe Biden's mental unfitness became a significant political issue, especially in the context of questions about his use of an autopen to sign presidential directives and allegations that aides may have acted without his full knowledge or capacity. In 2025, after Biden left office, President Donald Trump directed his counsel and Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden's mental state and whether presidential authorities were unconstitutionally exercised through the autopen[1][2].
Biden’s Response and Public Statements
Joe Biden has strongly denied these allegations. In a public statement in June 2025, he said: “Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.”[1] He characterized the investigation as a political distraction and criticized the underlying motives behind the allegations.
Status of the Investigation
As of the latest available information, the investigation ordered by Trump is ongoing, and Attorney General Pam Bondi has not publicly issued any formal findings or conclusions[1][2]. The probe centers on Biden's use of the autopen and whether it indicates a lack of mental fitness or an improper transfer or exercise of presidential authority[2].
Outcome
There has been no official outcome or conclusion released regarding the investigation into claims of Joe Biden's mental unfitness during his presidency. The matter remains unresolved, and no definitive evidence of misconduct or mental incapacity has been presented by authorities[1][2].
Biden’s critics continue to question his mental acuity, while his supporters and the former president himself dismiss these claims as baseless. The controversy has become a focal point of political debate, but as of now, it remains unproven and under investigation[1][2].
- The investigation launched by President Trump into the mental capacity of Joe Biden raises questions about the employment policy of the Biden administration, particularly concerning the use of an autopen for signing documents and decisions made during his presidency.
- The ongoing investigation delves into the policy-and-legislation aspect of both the Trump and Biden administrations, as it examines the constitutionality of certain practices and decisions, including pardons and the employment of mechanical signature assistance.
- Amid the war-and-conflicts of political allegations, the general news and crime-and-justice sectors are closely following the development of this controversy, with implications for the political future of both President Biden and President Trump.
