Attorney General Sends Letter To DOJ Requesting Investigation
Alright, buckle up, folks, because this story is something else. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is calling for a full-blown federal investigation into whether President Biden’s staff took advantage of his cognitive decline to push through radical policies in the final days of his presidency—without him even fully understanding what he was signing. And let’s just say, if true, that would be one of the biggest political bombshells in modern history.
Bailey fired off a letter to the Department of Justice’s Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, demanding answers. His argument? Biden’s last-minute executive actions—particularly his record-breaking clemency spree—raise serious red flags. We’re talking about 4,245 acts of clemency in four years, with 96% of them happening after October 1. And in a single day—January 17, to be exact—Biden commuted 2,490 sentences. That’s more than any other president had issued over their entire tenure.

Now, Bailey isn’t just concerned about the sheer volume of these decisions. He’s pointing out that Biden made some highly controversial moves, like commuting the death sentences of 37 out of 40 prisoners, issuing a retroactive blanket pardon for his son Hunter Biden (after repeatedly claiming he wouldn’t do so), and declaring—out of nowhere—that the Equal Rights Amendment was officially part of the U.S. Constitution, even though legal experts widely agree that it isn’t.
And here’s where it gets dicey: Bailey suggests that Biden’s mental decline made it easy for staffers and officials to push these policies through without his full awareness. In other words, they may have been the ones calling the shots while Biden was just putting pen to paper. And if that’s the case? Bailey argues those executive orders, pardons, and policy changes could be legally void.
For investigators to determine whether then-President Biden actually ordered the signature of relevant legal documents, or if he even had the mental capacity to, they must first determine who controlled the autopen and what checks there were in place.

Think about what that means. If Biden wasn’t actually in control of his own administration at the end, were these decisions even legitimate? Did unelected aides just use his name to pass their own agenda? That’s a constitutional crisis waiting to happen.
And it’s not just a theoretical issue. Bailey points out that some of the inmates who received clemency had committed crimes in Missouri. Since the Supreme Court has ruled that states can retry suspects previously prosecuted on federal charges, Bailey wants to know whether Missouri—and other states—should consider legal action.
An autopen is a machine that reproduces signatures using a motorized arm holding a pen, programmed to mimic a person’s handwriting. Public figures use it for efficiency, but autopen signatures lack the pressure variation of hand-signed ones, making them distinguishable.
