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.
“I would go further—but now this is me—and I would hold some of these people accountable for misrepresenting the President’s health and for abusing their power as bureaucrats in the White House who were essentially forging the President’s name on pardons.
“I mean, you could ask a lot of questions. I know some of the people who were pardoned from Kentucky; these are wealthy Democrat donors.
We heard from Jeff Zients that Hunter Biden was in the room where the decision-making was taking place on the pardons. Look, I don’t think we need to say any more on this show about Hunter Biden being in the room with pardons when people have the potential to maybe be paying for pardons.
“We didn’t go that route. I’m just trying to investigate the autopen and the President’s health and mental fitness. But I think the Department of Justice could go a lot further. I mean, to have Hunter Biden in the room talking about any pardons—that’s pretty bad in itself.
“But a guy that we proved, John—and you all have reported on many times—was taking money from our adversaries around the world, peddling access for his father’s position as Vice President of the United States… having him in the room when you’re issuing thousands of pardons with the autopen? That’s suspicious in itself.”

On Tuesday, Bondi responded to the Committee’s findings and said her team had already initiated a review of the Biden regime’s use of the autopen for pardons.
“My team has already initiated a review of the Biden administration’s reported use of autopen for pardons,” Pam Bondi said on Tuesday.
It can be recalled that even the far-left New York Times reported that some of the emails that the National Archives handed over to the Trump DOJ were reviewed as part of their investigation into the autopen scandal.
The emails revealed that Biden’s staffers made decisions to sign the pardons with the autopen without directly hearing the orders from Joe Biden.
It was revealed that Joe Biden did not approve of each name for the pardons – AND after changes were made about the specific inmates, Biden did NOT sign off on the revised list. Rather, his aides just ran the final version through the autopen without Biden’s approval.
