Biden Issues Scathing Rebuttal of 'Ridiculous' Trump-Ordered Probe Into His Presidency

Source: MEDIAite

Jun 5th, 2025, 7:21 am


Former President Joe Biden pushed back hard against a new White House directive from President Donald Trump ordering an investigation into his use of presidential powers, calling it a “distraction” from the GOP’s push for “disastrous legislation.”

The probe, launched Wednesday via a Trump-signed memorandum, instructs the White House counsel and Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether top aides during Biden’s presidency “conspired to deceive the public” about his mental fitness, and whether executive authority was exercised unconstitutionally on his behalf. Trump is also questioning Biden’s use of an autopen as part of what he called “one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.”

Biden dismissed the premise outright in a statement issued late Wednesday. “Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency,” Biden said. “I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.”

He accused Trump and Republican lawmakers of using the inquiry to divert attention from their legislative agenda, warning they aim to “cut essential programs like Medicaid and raise costs on American families, all to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations.”

receives advice and information from many sources. But for a "the buck stops here" president I will take the first president to walk a picket line, the president who, as v.p., came out in favor of marriage equality before his president or party were ready.

It was meant to take up space on the news for a day or so. Soon it will be forgotten in the endless maelstrom of Trump bullshit.

"Flood the Zone" is a technique.

with serious health issues and you think it's time to drum up some b.s. issue.
At the very least, any senator that served with Joe Biden should be standing up for him. I'll bet Joe personally wished McConnell well when he began having episodes, because that's the decent human being Joe is. Don't even get me started on how Joe felt about John McCain.
F.ck you Felon!

Got sued, fined, etc.

And Biden set it up so Trump could not go after anyone, so he's pissed. In the end, this will go nowhere and just look like the sad little man he is.
