For most of his presidency, and especially toward the end, it was clear to many, including the Democrats, that former President Joe Biden was suffering from significant cognitive decline.
In response, some top officials now want to know exactly how far gone Biden was at the end.
Especially as Biden signed a flurry of pardons in his final days and hours in office.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) wrote in an X post that he wants the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate what exactly was happening behind closed doors in the White House during Biden’s final days in the White House.
AG Bailey suggested that it’s possible that “unelected staff” pushed through “radical” decisions during Biden’s last weeks and days in the Oval Office.
Bailey also suggests that such actions should be voided.
The top state prosecutor made his thoughts on the matter clear in his X post.
He held nothing back regarding what he thinks could have happened during that time, especially given Biden’s obvious cognitive decline.
“I am demanding the DOJ [investigate] whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval,” Baily posted.
He added, “If true, these executive orders, pardons, and all other actions are unconstitutional and legally void.”

The Western Journal noted:
“In his post, Bailey attached a copy of a letter he wrote to Michael Horowitz, the inspector general of the Department of Justice.
“In the letter, Baily said there were ‘profound reasons to suspect that Biden’s staff and political allies exploited his mental decline to issue purported presidential orders without his knowing approval.’”
Even Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had trouble meeting with Biden in the White House in his final days.
The meeting raised more questions as to how bad the former president was at the time.
Users across social media reacted to Bailey’s post.
Most were cheering him on in his attempt to find out how bad things really were.
“If they wouldn’t bring charges against him due to his cognitive decline, then yes, he is incapable and incompetent,” one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote:
“It is about the right time to question all policies changes in the past 4 years!”
Only time will tell if Trump’s DOJ will open up such an investigation.
