Former President Joe Biden‘s use of the autopen and his mental state during major White House green energy policy announcements will be aired out in Congress on Wednesday.
In a hearing titled “NGOs gone wild,” the House Oversight Committee will parse claims that the Biden administration handed out billions of dollars to left-leaning nongovernmental organizations and that an autopen was used to sign sweeping executive orders that Biden never spoke about publicly.
Part of the hearing will center on new reports that Biden issued major climate policy changes via executive action without ever saying anything about it on the record, raising questions about his awareness of the orders.
“President Biden didn’t speak a lot to the press to begin with,” Power the Future President Daniel Turner said in an interview with the Washington Examiner. “But we couldn’t even find any instance of Joe Biden in his own words, in his own voice, speaking about having signed [these executive orders], the need for it, the purpose of it, et cetera.”
