In a stunning development, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced Tuesday that thousands of last-minute pardons and executive orders issued by former President Joe Biden could soon be thrown out in court — potentially reshaping the political landscape just months before the 2026 midterms.
During Biden’s final weeks in office, over 4,200 clemency orders were granted, including nearly 1,500 commutations in a single day — the largest mass clemency action in modern U.S. history. Now, those decisions are under intense investigation, with evidence suggesting many may have been signed using an autopen rather than Biden’s actual signature.
Trump-Led Investigation Uncovers Explosive Evidence
The investigation, commissioned by President Donald Trump, has been described as one of the most consequential political probes in decades. Trump has repeatedly called the controversy:
“One of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.”
Biden has dismissed the allegations as “ridiculous” and “false.” But Comer says the committee’s probe has uncovered serious inconsistencies — and even suggests Biden “wasn’t the one directing the use of the autopen” in his final days in office.
Appearing on Fox News, Comer told anchor Bill Hemmer that his committee is in the “final stages” of its investigation.
“We now have strong evidence that Biden himself had no idea what was being signed,” Comer said. “These pardons and executive orders could be easily declared null and void in court, and our findings will provide the proof needed.”
Karine Jean-Pierre Called to Testify
As part of the final push, Comer revealed that former Biden White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will testify on Friday.
Her upcoming book reportedly contains firsthand accounts of Biden’s last months in power, including possible details about who actually directed the use of the autopen.
“The testimony from Biden staffers we’ve already deposed doesn’t match the emails and records we’ve uncovered,” Comer explained. “The entire process was totally inconsistent and raises serious questions about the legality of Biden’s final actions as president.”
Why It Matters for America’s Future
If courts rule that these autopen-signed documents were invalid, thousands of pardons and executive orders could be overturned. This would give President Trump and congressional Republicans a historic opportunity to:
- Reverse Biden’s last-minute policies
- Reinstate law and order in the justice system
- Hold accountable those who exploited presidential power in Biden’s name
This development comes at a time when many Americans believe Washington elites have rigged the system against hardworking citizens. For conservatives, it represents a chance to restore integrity to the presidency and rebuild trust in the rule of law.
The Bottom Line
The Oversight Committee’s investigation is far from over, but Comer’s explosive revelations suggest major legal battles are ahead. If Biden’s last-minute pardons are struck down, it would be one of the biggest political reversals in U.S. history — and a major win for President Trump’s movement to drain the swamp.
As Comer put it:
“At the end of the day, we’ve learned one thing for certain — Joe Biden wasn’t the one calling the shots. Someone else was.”
Key Takeaway for Conservative Voters
This case isn’t just about Biden — it’s about protecting the Constitution and preventing future abuse of power. With the 2026 midterms looming, Republicans are gearing up for a fight to restore accountability and secure America’s future.
