House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., said on Newsmax he is hoping that the staffers who operated the autopen to sign former President Joe Biden’s signature on executive orders in the waning days of his administration will lead to more senior level staffers who were running the country while Biden’s health was failing.

“We’re starting at the bottom,” Comer said Wednesday on “Wake Up America.” “These employees that we’re bringing in, the four employees, are the ones that we believe actually operated the autopen. We’re starting with them. We’re going to find out who gave them the authority to stick executive orders and pardons in the autopen and press the power button and sign Joe Biden’s signature. We believe this will lead to the higher up people … that have been mentioned as people who were actually running the country while Joe Biden was in his mental decline. So, we’re going to try to get the truth to the American people.

“At the end of the day, this is very important because so much of what was done at the end of the Biden administration was done by executive order using that autopen,” he said. “We don’t believe that would be valid and that’s important because Donald Trump’s in court for a lot of things that he campaigned on, a lot of draining-the-swamp type issues, and they’re being held up because of these executive orders that were authorized, perhaps, by unnamed bureaucrats and signed with an autopen.”
