Biden autopen orders should be void — as elderly president’s actions were ‘not all his own’ after health cover-up, bombshell report finds

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.”

Biden White House ADMITS It Followed Media Spin to Dismiss “Cheap Fakes”

Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee exposed how the Biden administration—under former President Joe Biden—relied on media spin to protect his public image. 

Jean-Pierre admitted that the administration used the term “cheap fakes,” a label invented by liberal media outlets, to dismiss viral videos showing Biden appearing confused, frozen, or disoriented. 

When asked whether the administration had verified any of the videos before repeating that claim, she admitted it had not. The White House had followed the media’s lead.

This admission reveals how the Biden team prioritized narrative over truth. 

Rather than independently assessing evidence, the administration amplified the media’s language to downplay legitimate concerns about the president’s behavior. 

Jean-Pierre’s testimony confirms that political optics took precedence over transparency, even when the issue involved the public’s trust in a sitting president.

The reality is that many of the so-called “cheap fakes” weren’t fake at all. 

Unedited footage from the 2024 Juneteenth concert showed Biden standing motionless while others danced around him. 

At the G7 summit in Italy, cameras captured Biden wandering away from a group of world leaders until Italy’s Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, gently redirected him back.

The incident, widely circulated on social media, showed other leaders looking on awkwardly as Biden appeared disoriented, reinforcing growing concerns about his awareness and ability to engage in high-level diplomacy.

Independent fact-checkers later confirmed that those clips were authentic and unaltered—contradicting the White House’s claims.

Felon Who Was Granted Clemency by Biden Admin Hit with New Federal Charges After Violent Incident

An alleged Omaha, Nebraska, gang member who was given a get-out-of-jail card by former President Joe Biden has been arrested after less than five months of freedom.

On Jan. 17, Biden commuted Khyre Holbert’s 20-year sentence to 100 months, according to a federal list of the pardons and commutations.

Holbert is now facing a federal charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm in connection with an Oct. 4 shooting in Omaha that injured a 28-year-old man, according to WOWT-TV.

Holbert also faces local charges of first-degree assault, using a firearm to commit a felony, and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.

A criminal complaint alleged that Holbert tried to get rid of the gun, upon which his fingerprints were found.

Holbert had a substantial record even before his 2018 sentencing on charges that included being a felon in possession of a firearm and distributing crack cocaine, according to National Review.

He was charged in 2010 with carrying a concealed weapon and possessing an unregistered firearm. At the time, he was a minor and was sentenced for one year.

In 2012, Holbert was convicted of a felony for having a gun and was sentenced for three years.

Officials said he is a member of a violent gang in Omaha.

According to the Justice Department, “the gun used in the Omaha shooting was found to have been discharged in two other separate criminal incidents that occurred in Omaha, including a homicide that occurred on June 22, 2025, and a felony assault in which several unknown assailants shot at a man in his vehicle on June 23, 2025.”

Holbert had been released from federal prison in May and began three years of probation on May 30.

A Justice Department statement noted that at the time Biden commuted Holbert’s sentence, “the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Nebraska objected to the grant of clemency due to Holbert’s gang affiliation and significant criminal history, along with the nature of his criminal convictions in that case, which included possessing firearms in furtherance of drug trafficking.  Clemency was ordered over that objection,” according to KSID-TV.

“Khyre Holbert should never have been prematurely released from federal prison and been free to participate in this violence,” United States Attorney for the District of Nebraska Lesley Woods said.

Senate Grills Meta and Google Over Biden Administration’s Role in COVID-Era Content Censorship

A Senate hearing this week discussed government influence on online speech, as senior executives from Meta and Google faced questions about the Biden administration’s communications with their companies during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The session, titled “Part II of Shut Your App: How Uncle Sam Jawboned Big Tech Into Silencing Americans,” highlighted the growing concern in Washington over what lawmakers describe as government-driven pressure to suppress lawful expression.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), who led the hearing, began by declaring that “the right to speak out is the foundation of a free society” and warning that “censorship around the world is growing.”

He accused the Biden administration of pushing technology companies to restrict Americans’ speech during the pandemic, and he faulted both the companies and Democrats for failing to resist that pressure.

“Today, we pick off where the story left off,” Cruz said, pointing to Meta and Google as examples of firms that “were pressured by the Biden administration to censor the American people.”

He pledged to introduce the Jawbone Act, which he said would “provide a robust right to redress when Americans are targeted by their own government.”

Markham Erickson, Google’s Vice President of Government Affairs and Public Policy, defended the company’s approach, emphasizing that its moderation decisions are guided by long-standing internal policies, not by government direction.

“While we are a company dedicated to the goal of making the world’s information universally accessible, that doesn’t mean that we don’t have certain rules,” Erickson said, citing restrictions on “terrorist content, child sexual abuse material, hate speech, and other harmful content.”

He acknowledged that officials in the Biden administration had contacted Google during the pandemic to urge the removal of certain COVID-19 content from YouTube.

But Erickson maintained that the company “develop[ed] and enforce[d] our policies independently” and “rejected suggestions that did not align with those policies.”

“That Is a World-Class Pivot” — Kamala Harris Gets Absolutely Grilled and Called Out for Dodging Biden’s Obvious Mental Decline in Cringe-Worthy Word Salad Interview

In yet another painfully awkward public moment, Kamala Harris got absolutely torched during an exclusive interview with ABC’s Sarah Ferguson when pressed about Joe Biden’s mental decline

The interview, aired Wednesday night, was meant to be a softball promo for Harris’s memoir, which ABC hyped as an inside look at “the shortest and most consequential Presidential campaign in modern history.”

What viewers got instead was a masterclass in liberal denial. Ferguson, to her credit, didn’t let Harris off the hook, repeatedly pressing her on Biden’s refusal to step aside despite his obvious frailties, frailties that were on full display during that disastrous debate where he could barely string a coherent sentence together.

“Wasn’t Joe Biden then to put it on him? Wasn’t his refusal to recognize his own frailties, the reason that you faced a nearly impossible task?” Ferguson asked pointedly.

Harris launched into a convoluted rant that had nothing to do with the question:

“I ran against Donald Trump for president, and Donald Trump ran on a platform that was, in large part, I believe, misrepresenting his intentions to the American people.

I do believe that there are a fair number of people who voted for Donald Trump who believed him when he told them that his first priority on day one was going to be to bring down prices—and he didn’t.

And you combine that misrepresentation of intention with what was at play in terms of massive amounts of mis- and disinformation—forgive me—and a calendar in terms of the clock.”

Ferguson quickly cut through the nonsense:

“I want to interrupt you because that is a world-class pivot, but it is not the question that I asked you, which is about Joe Biden’s failure to recognize his own frailties and what that did to you. The question is about Joe Biden.”

The look on Harris’s face said it all — deer-in-the-headlights panic followed by another evasive deflection.

Ferguson, to her credit, didn’t back down, probing why Harris “won’t go to that prolonged frailty question.”

Harris’s response was more deflection, claiming she’d addressed it in her book while dismissing the debate as a one-off due to “travel schedule” and “timing.”

“We’ve Handed This to Pam Bondi on a Silver Platter”: James Comer Demands Bondi to Nullify Biden’s Autopen Pardons and Executive Orders After GOP Oversight “Did All the Heavy Lifting”

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.

Intel Operative Tried To Recruit Maduro’s Pilot, Have Him Divert a Flight So That US Authorities Could Arrest Venezuelan Dictator

The ‘betrayal in the skies’ did not happen.

Under the feeble Joe Biden administration, a federal agent developed an operation that, while unsuccessful, demonstrates just how approachable is the inner circle of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.

The agent approached Nicolás Maduro’s chief pilot, General Bitner Villegas, with an offer: divert the Venezuelan presidential plane to a place where US authorities could detain him.

In exchange, the pilot would become ‘a very rich man’.

Associated Press reported:

“The conversation was tense, and the pilot left noncommittal, though he provided the agent, Edwin Lopez, with his cell number — a sign he might be interested in helping the U.S. government. Over the next 16 months, even after retiring from his government job in July, Lopez kept at it, chatting with the pilot over an encrypted messaging app.”

The operation – started under Biden but seemingly continued during Trump’s administration – seems very improvised to the observer, but sheds light on the Maduro team’s vulnerabilities.

“’I’m still waiting for your answer’, Lopez wrote the pilot on Aug. 7, attaching a link to a Justice Department press release announcing the reward had risen to $50 million.

Details of the ultimately unsuccessful plan were drawn from interviews with three current and former U.S. officials, as well as one of Maduro’s opponents. All spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were either not authorized to discuss the effort or feared retribution for disclosing it. The Associated Press also reviewed — and authenticated — text exchanges between Lopez and the pilot.”

Trump Administration Overhauls Biden’s DEI Broadband Program that Connected Zero Households in 4 Years

Trump’s Assistant Secretary of Commerce and administrator of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, Arielle Roth, outlined the Administration’s policies for reforming the wasteful Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program in a speech at the Hudson Institute this week. According to Roth, “For years, BEAD was weighed down by red tape and extralegal conditions that slowed down states, deterred providers, and sidelined innovative technologies.”

As Breitbart has previously reported, BEAD was filled with DEI mandates, climate-regulation burdens, and a fiber-technology bias that virtually banned viable satellite and fixed-wireless solutions — despite fiber being inefficient in sparsely populated areas. Rather than prioritizing connecting rural Americans most cost-effectively, BEAD under Biden became an ideological vehicle — so much so that the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) admitted four years after the bill’s passage that it hadn’t connected a single household.

The $42.5 billion federal program prioritized woke corporate mandates and handouts to the politically connected fiber and broadband lobby, while discriminating against far more efficient Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite technology, such as SpaceX’s Starlink. Four years after it passed, it proposed spending tens of thousands of dollars per household, but failed to connect a single American.

Assistant Secretary Roth agreed, noting that “For years, BEAD was weighed down by red tape and extralegal conditions that slowed down states, deterred providers, and sidelined innovative technologies.” However, she alluded to the problem of state governments undermining the Trump administration’s priorities on BEAD, explaining, “As BEAD moves toward final plan approvals, delivering results means keeping defaults to an absolute minimum.  A program this large and unprecedented must be managed with discipline and careful oversight.  That means meticulously reviewing state proposals to ensure compliance, prevent distortionary outcomes, and protect against waste.”

ARREST JACK SMITH NOW! Latest Arctic Frost List Confirms Smith and Democrats Were Aiming to Wipe MAGA Off the Map and Ultimately to Jail All MAGA Leaders — FULL LIST INCLUDED

The Arctic Frost investigation was a codenamed FBI probe launched in April 2022 under the Biden administration. Originally, we were told it was an investigation into the legitimate alternative electors from the 2020 election.

On Tuesday, we found out that the investigation was much more than that. It now appears that Arctic Frost, launched by Jack Smith and the Biden regime, was an attempt to wipe out MAGA and to persecute many of the top MAGA personalities.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday, the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee released new Arctic Frost documents, which revealed the investigation was much more widespread than previously thought.

More than 100 individuals were under investigation, including Steven Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Ed Martin, Dr. Peter Navarro, and others, by Jack Smith and the Biden regime.

Per Tuesday’s GOP-led Judiciary Committee:

  •  Arctic Frost investigators utilized FBI field offices from across the country to conduct its investigation.
  • Arctic Frost investigators requested $16,600 to travel to conduct more than 40 interviews.
  • 109 individuals, including Peter Navarro, Dan Scavino, Jeff Rosen, and Ed Martin, were under investigation.

What was the crime? There was no crime. Smith and the Biden team were attempting to eradicate MAGA from the country by eliminating over 100 of its state and national leaders.

The House Judiciary Committee PDF appears to be a heavily redacted document.

The document totals 198 pages.

Pages 107-114 contain structured lists primarily consisting of alternate electors (rosters by state) from the 2020 U.S. presidential election context, with some additional attorney associations on page 111.

Different targeted Republicans are listed in this section.

These are grouped by page below, with roles (e.g., Secretary, Chairperson) and states included where directly adjacent in the lists.

House Oversight Committee Deems ALL Biden Autopen Actions NULL AND VOID – Demands Investigation by AG Pam Bondi

The Biden autopen scandal has taken a new turn, and the Department of Justice may soon get involved.

The House Oversight Committee, led by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), released a 100-page report today declaring all of Biden’s autopen executive actions “null and void.”

These include pardons performed by White House staff and signed by an autopen.

From Comer:

@GOPoversight has exposed the Biden Autopen Presidency, revealing how top aides misled Americans and worked to maintain the illusion of presidential control as Biden’s capacity declined.

Executive actions taken by White House Biden staff & signed by autopen are NULL AND VOID.

The report calls on the Department of Justice and Attorney General Pam Bondi to conduct an investigation, including of Biden aides responsible for the cover-up.

“We are calling on the U.S. Department of Justice to conduct a thorough review of these executive actions and scrutinize key Biden aides who took the Fifth to hide their participation in the cover-up,” the report reads.

“The D.C. Board of Medicine must also review the actions taken by President Biden’s physician to hide his true condition. We have provided Americans with transparency about the Biden Autopen Presidency, and now there must be accountability,” it continues.
