Trump's recent memorandum calling for an investigation into Joe Biden's cognitive capabilities and use of the autopen exemplifies his ongoing control over the Department of Justice. This action not only indulges conspiracy theories but also cleverly circumvents direct legal targeting of Biden, likely due to a recent Supreme Court ruling that grants presidents immunity for official acts. While this decision was meant to deter retaliatory investigations between political rivals, it has instead fostered an environment conducive to escalating legal conflicts, raising concerns about lawfulness and the politicization of justice.
Trump's order to investigate Biden's cognitive decline reflects a troubling trend in U.S. politics where the Justice Department is seen as a tool for political retribution.
The Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v. United States aimed to prevent cycles of retaliation; instead, it seems to have only exacerbated them.
