President Donald Trump ordered the Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether the administration of former President Joe Biden sought to consider to hide his mental state during his duties, which aroused a response from Biden.
“Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency,” said Biden in a statement. “I made the decisions concerning the pardons, the decrees, the legislation and the proclamations. Any suggestion that I did not do is ridiculous and false.”
The White House decision represents a significant escalation of the White House, as it is a directive at the Ministry of Justice to officially investigate.

This goes beyond examination in Biden’s last-minute pard before leaving his duties.
Biden responded to Trump’s note to Bondi and the Ministry of Justice, calling an investigation “Nothing more than just a distraction” and defending his decision -making capacity. In a press release, he said that any suggestion that he does not control is “ridiculous and false”.

“It is nothing more than a distraction of Donald Trump and the Congress Republicans who work to push disastrous legislation that would reduce essential programs like Medicaid and increase costs on American families, all to pay tax loss for ultra-rich and large companies,” Biden said in a statement sent to ABC News.
The president ordered the highest official of the application of the laws of the United States, in coordination with his lawyer for the White House, to investigate “the circumstances surrounding the supposed execution of Biden many executive actions in recent years”, according to the a declaration from the White House.
