In a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) called on former President Joe Biden to release documents showing that he consented to his staff’s use of the autopen.
“Today, I call on former President Biden and his staff: release the documents… Show us the documents where the President authorized the use of the pen for every single pardon and clemency and stay application. Let’s see it. Let’s see all of it. And if you won’t do it, we should subpoena those documents, and we should find out the truth of who was really running the White House because I think we can see it was not Biden,” Senator Hawley said.
Senator Hawley called out Democrats for lying to the American people about Biden’s mental acuity for years and for failing to take accountability or even attend the hearing.
“All you have to do is look over at this side of the dais to see that the stonewall continues… Where are they?” Senator Hawley said. “They lied to us for four years, and we know they lied. They know they lied. It’s why they’re not here. They don’t want to answer a single question. They can’t bear to show their faces in public.”
Senator Hawley has long raised concerns about President Biden’s mental fitness. In February 2024 following the release of the Hur Report, he called on then Attorney General Merrick Garland to invoke the 25th Amendment or prosecute Biden.
