Donald Trump has ordered an investigation into Joe Biden’s actions during his presidency, accusing aides of a “conspiracy” to “deceive the public about Biden’s mental state”.
In this latest move to discredit his predecessor, Trump took aim at the aides’ use of an autopen – a device that replicates signatures which presidents, including Trump, have used for decades – to sign executive actions.
Biden slammed Trump’s move as “ridiculous”, saying his claims are aimed at distracting Americans as his administration works to extend tax breaks for the wealthy.
