Dozens of Joe Biden’s executive actions “cannot all be deemed his own” after his closest advisers “went to great lengths to prop up” the 46th president as he suffered physical and cognitive decline in office, according to a bombshell report released Tuesday.
The House Oversight Committee staff document — based on more than a dozen interviews with Biden aides — lays out how the Democrat’s “inner circle” took steps to “meticulously stage-manage” his public appearances, lighten his private workload, and even block lawmakers from talking to him.
“These steps ranged from addressing President Biden’s makeup, clothing, schedule, the number of steps President Biden could walk or climb, the amount of time President Biden needed to read and to spend with his family,” the 91-page report states, “keeping cabinet meetings to a minimum, eliciting ‘direction’ from Hollywood on the State of the Union and other events, and using teleprompters even at small, intimate events.”
In fact, when Biden gave his son Hunter a sweeping pardon from tax and gun felonies — as well as any potential crimes committed over an 11-year period — the president was given a notecard full of approved talking points, Axios journalist and “Original Sin” co-author Alex Thompson first reported.
The investigation, run by Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), also found that executive orders signed by autopen — including some presidential pardons — should be considered null and void since they were authorized with no “approval traceable to the president’s own consent.”
