Former President Joe Biden strongly criticized a new directive from Donald Trump that seeks to investigate Biden's actions during his presidency, labeling it a diversion from critical legislative matters. The Trump memorandum tasks the White House counsel and Attorney General to examine alleged conspiracies regarding mental fitness and the use of autopen. Biden responded firmly, asserting his decision-making authority and claiming the inquiry was an attempt to mask the Republican agenda of cutting essential programs while favoring tax breaks for the wealthy. The legitimacy of autopen usage has been acknowledged by the DOJ historically.
Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. Any suggestion that I didn't is ridiculous and false.
Biden accused Trump of using the inquiry to divert attention from their legislative agenda, warning they aim to cut essential programs like Medicaid.
