Donald Trump has directed officials to investigate allegations of a plot connected to Joe Biden’s recent decline, launching a formal probe into claims that have fueled political controversy and intensified scrutiny around the president's current condition.

Tl;dr

  • Trump orders probe into Biden’s inner circle.
  • Allegations include automatic signature and mental health cover-up.
  • Biden denounces accusations as « ridiculous and false ».

    • Trump Sparks Investigation Into Biden’s Team

    A fresh wave of political turmoil has hit Washington as Donald Trump, now back in the Oval Office, initiated a formal inquiry on June 4, 2025, targeting the close aides of his predecessor, Joe Biden. The Republican president alleges that some within the former Democratic administration may have deliberately concealed the state of Biden’s mental health, effectively usurping presidential powers and deceiving the American public.

    The Heart of the Accusation: Signature Automation Claims

    At the core of these explosive claims is the suspected use of a system for automatic signature. According to Trump’s camp, this mechanism could have enabled members of Biden‘s entourage to validate official documents—including major executive orders and even presidential pardons—without his direct approval. The current White House has tasked its official legal counsel with investigating whether any such manipulations took place, strictly within legal parameters.

    Trump did not mince words, insisting this episode represents « one of the most dangerous and disturbing scandals in American history ». The administration has demanded a thorough review to determine precisely which documents may have been signed through controversial means.

    Biden Pushes Back: “Ridiculous and False” Allegations

    The response from Biden was swift and uncompromising. In a statement relayed to the press agency AFP, he dismissed the Republican accusations as « ridiculous and false », stressing their lack of substance. It is worth recalling that towards the end of his mandate, Biden issued preemptive pardons to several political allies—including his son, Hunter Biden. This move had already drawn fire from conservative circles and remains contentious.

    A Climate Shaped by Suspicion—and Retribution

    Debate over Biden’s cognitive fitness was never far from center stage during recent elections. Observers frequently highlighted signs of fatigue, verbal missteps, and his rare interactions with reporters. The book « Le péché originel » even recounts how Biden’s team scaled back public appearances from mid-2023 onward.

    Meanwhile, since reclaiming the presidency, Trump has taken unmistakably symbolic steps described as acts of « vengeance ». These actions include:

  • The pardoning of Capitol riot participants.
  • The prosecution of key opponents.
  • A vigorous campaign against certain universities and media outlets perceived as progressive.

    • With both camps determined to define public perception, this latest judicial-political standoff adds yet another layer to an already volatile national landscape. Where it leads next remains highly uncertain.
