Oversight Committee Releases Report on the Biden Autopen Presidency
Published: Oct 28, 2025

...Below are key findings and recommendations from the report:

Biden’s Decline and Cover-Up:
The Oversight Committee found substantial evidence that President Joe Biden experienced significant mental and physical decline during his presidency, while senior White House officials actively sought to conceal his deterioration from the public. President Biden’s inner circle, including top advisors and his physician, undertook coordinated efforts to mislead the public regarding his cognitive state, using scripted messaging, restricted access, and tightly controlled appearances. White House staff meticulously controlled President Biden’s daily activities, public appearances, and workload to mask his declining capabilities. This included restricting media access, avoiding unscripted events, and even seeking input from Hollywood figures on presentation strategy. Key advisors, including senior strategist Mike Donilon, stood to gain financially and politically from maintaining President Biden’s candidacy and suppressing evidence of his decline.

Gaslighting the American Public over Concerns about Biden’s Debate Performance and Cognitive Decline:
Even a year later, President Biden’s former senior circle denies not only that his cognitive decline was on full display in his 2024 debate with President Trump, but that the public was ever even concerned about cognitive decline. In their view, public concern about Biden’s debate performance was about his “bad cold” and more general feelings about potential limitations due to his advanced age.

Political Interference in Medical Decisions and Failure of Medical Oversight:
Testimony from senior officials, including Jeff Zients and Anita Dunn, revealed that political advisors interfered with decisions regarding President Biden’s medical evaluations, explicitly rejecting calls for cognitive testing to protect his reelection prospects. Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the President’s physician, did not perform a cognitive assessment of President Biden and invoked his Fifth Amendment right when questioned by the Committee. Testimony suggests that Dr. O’Connor’s medical judgments were influenced by political advisors and that his financial ties to the Biden family presented conflicts of interest.

Referral of Biden’s Physician to D.C. Board of Medicine:
Chairman Comer recommends that the District of Columbia Board of Medicine review the actions taken by Dr. O’Connor while serving as the White House physician to President Biden for any potential wrongdoing in the medical care of the former president—including whether Dr. O’Connor produced false or misleading medical reports to the American people.

Exercise of Presidential Authority by Biden Aides, Making Executive Actions Signed by Autopen Invalid:
Senior Biden staff exercised presidential authority or facilitated executive actions without direct authorization from President Biden himself, including through misuse of the autopen and failures in documenting decision-making processes. The Oversight Committee found alarming deficiencies in the documentation and custody of the President’s decision binder, including instances where executive actions were executed without written authorization or clear record of the President’s approval. The Committee identified irregularities in the issuance of pardons and commutations during the final days of the Biden presidency, including those involving members of the Biden family, where the autopen was used without confirmed presidential authorization or proper documentation.

Referral to DOJ for Review of Executive Actions and Key Aides Involved in the Cover-Up:
Chairman Comer is calling on the Department of Justice conduct a comprehensive review of all executive actions taken during the Biden presidency and is referring key Biden aides—Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Annie Tomasini and Anthony Bernal—for further scrutiny after they took the Fifth Amendment during the investigation...

Needless to say, he had to eek by on his paltry $4Million salary alone.

Top Biden aide squirms as he admits to millions of dollars he stood to earn if Joe won in 2024
In autopen committee hearing: 'In my view, the money was – that it was a guarantee with the campaign'
By Cristina Laila, October 28, 2025

The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday released a video interview with a top Biden aide essentially admitting he was incentivized to cover up Biden's cognitive decline because he was promised a massive payday for a 2024 White House win.

The Oversight Committee, chaired by James Comer, opened an investigation into the autopen scandal earlier this year and subpoenaed several Biden aides for documents and testimony.

The Committee called in several Biden aides as part of its investigation into Joe Biden's cognitive decline.

Top Biden aide Mike Donilon told the House Oversight Committee over the summer that he was promised a $4 million bonus if Joe Biden won the 2024 election.

It was previously reported that Donilon was paid a $4 million salary for his 2024 election work, but an additional $4 million bonus was revealed during his testimony.

Over the summer, Axios reported on Donilon's testimony, where he admitted to the multi-million-dollar bonus.

"Just to be clear, would the amount of pay you received for your role in the campaign — would that have changed depending on how far into the race President Biden made it?" a congressional investigator asked Donilon.

Donilon squirmed and took long pauses before he answered.

"In my view, the money was — that it was a guarantee with the campaign. We had a negotiation and that's my memory of the agreement," he said.

Another congressional investigator asked Donilon about the bonus he was promised.

"Would you have received a bonus depending on the way the campaign went. Is that a possibility?" the investigator asked. "Were there any circumstances in which you would have received a bonus?

Donilon conceded: "Yes, there was."

"And what were those circumstances?" the investigators asked.

"That Joe Biden would have been reelected President of the United States," Donilon replied...

Fun filled two minutes of the worm squirming.

More misrepresented...LIES...from bullshit sources.

First, let's consider the illustrious Hose Oversight Committee. Chaired by James Comer. With top Republican member Jim Comey.

If there are two bigger Trump taint-licking lackeys in Congress than those two assholes, I don't know who they are.

That "report" is a fucking joke. The "conclusions" were fore-gone before the whole thing started. You know it, I know it, anyone who understands this "Committee" knows it.

Just the partisan, unprofessional language used in it: "Gaslighting the American Public..." tells you all that you need to know.

BUT....here's the BEST PART. You are so desperate to contribute to your own piece-of-shit thread that you quote a story that begins with the statement:

"The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday released a video interview with a top Biden aide essentially admitting he was incentivized to cover up Biden's cognitive decline because he was promised a massive payday for a 2024 White House win."

NOWHERE in that testimony does Donilon say that!

But now all of Right Wing "media" is promoting the living shit out of that, helping to spread it. All while it is NOT reported in mainstream media...not in the WSJ...the NYT...nowhere (I did my fucking research!).

WHY?

Because it's a fucking lie!

[Mort Watt]

Lemme summarize that portion of the "hearing" so that no one else has to waste time on this stupid thread:

Committee member: Did you get paid for a job?

Donilon: Yes

Committee member: Did they tell you that you would get a bonus if you got good results?

Donilon: Yes

End.

This is such "non-News" that mainstream media isn't even covering it, that I can find easily. Everyone knows these hearings are partisan theater, performances for Trump. And for MAGA idiots who like to spread lies around, of course.

Thanks for saving me a finger stroke on clicking a link.

Ima sure there will be a thread if writs are served.
And I would be interested in the signatures on the indictment. Seems the DOJ is having a hard time finding lawyers who back frivolous stuff.

Maggies seriously abhor doing legwork and always circumvent the law they supposedly uphold when it comes to stuff like this.
