U.S. Senator John Cornyn has issued a statement regarding former President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen for nearly 4,000 pardons and grants of clemency at the end of his term. This includes pardons of his own family members.
“It is clear the Biden inner circle made conscious efforts to conceal the former President’s cognitive decline and, in the final hours of his term, used his signature to authorize thousands of pardons,” stated Sen. Cornyn. He added that having Biden speak to a reporter does not alleviate concerns about potential constitutional violations or conspiracy claims. According to Cornyn, this situation suggests that Biden’s aides are using him to mislead the public.
Senator Cornyn has been active on this issue, having co-chaired a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Unfit to Serve: How the Biden Cover-Up Endangered America and Undermined the Constitution.” Additionally, he sent a letter in May urging U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate possible federal law violations related to representations made about Biden’s health and well-being during his presidency.
