James Comer predicts Biden’s autopen orders can be ‘thrown out in court’

Published June 1, 2025 3:33pm ET



Rep. James Comer (R-KY) predicted that if the House Oversight Committee investigation proves that then-President Joe Biden didn’t know about his executive orders being signed by autopen, they will be “thrown out in court.”

Five former Biden aides are at the center of the committee’s investigation into the former president’s use of an autopen, a machine that allows anyone to duplicate the president’s signature with their authorization. The committee seeks to determine whether Biden knew about and had the cognitive ability to authorize the machine’s use or whether these aides were taking orders from someone else.
