House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is ramping up pressure on Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging her to take decisive action to invalidate Joe Biden’s pardons and executive orders that were signed by autopen rather than the president himself during his final days in office, without his knowledge and consent.
In an interview with Just the News, Comer said his committee had done the “tedious, hard work” of exposing how Biden’s aides wielded presidential powers while the commander-in-chief was allegedly “checked out.”
Comer is now calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi to take decisive action against the sweeping abuse of executive authority under Joe Biden.
“We’ve handed this to Pam Bondi on a silver platter. We’ve done all the heavy lifting,” Comer said. “We’ve done the depositions. We’ve combed through the emails. I mean, this is the hard, tedious work of an investigation.”
The Kentucky Republican didn’t mince words, urging Bondi to haul in Biden’s former aides for questioning and put their defenses to the test.
“Now it’s up to her to bring these people in,” he said. “If there’s anything in the report that’s inaccurate, if there’s anything in the deposition that we reported that are mischaracterized, then now here’s your opportunity to try to defend the other position. If not, then the report is 100% accurate, and the pardons need to be declared null and void.”
“Obviously, you’re going to use the auto pen for certificates of achievement, for mass letters, for correspondence. But with respect to legal documents, a pardon, a presidential pardon is a powerful thing.
“If the President himself can’t physically sign that pardon, there has to be a reason. Either the President didn’t evaluate the pardon, or the president wasn’t in a mental or physical shape to be able to sign his name. And you know that’s what we had here with Joe Biden.”
Comer’s remarks come just hours after his committee released a bombshell report concluding that many of Biden’s late-term executive actions were “legally invalid,” urging the Department of Justice to investigate and accusing senior Biden aides of covering up the president’s deteriorating mental state.
Comer also urged the DOJ to investigate further after it was revealed that Hunter Biden had attended multiple meetings where pardon requests were being reviewed during the final days of the Biden presidency.
