House Republicans released a long-promised report on former President Joe Biden’s autopen use, alleging a cover-up of his cognitive decline and suggesting aides enacted policies without his knowledge. The report offers no concrete evidence, relies on polls and staff depositions, and omits full transcripts. It urges Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate and presses D.C. medical authorities to sanction Biden’s physician, who pleaded the Fifth, as did two senior aides. Democrats dismissed the probe as a distraction. Republicans also argue autopen actions should be void without documented presidential approval, releasing the report amid a shutdown and an idle House.
