Senator Josh Hawley demanded action: “If Brennan and Comey lied to Congress or weaponized their agencies against a political opponent, they should be prosecuted—no exceptions, no excuses.”
It poisoned public trust, warped the 2016 election aftermath, and set the tone for years of baseless attacks on a sitting president.
The investigations are underway.

President Joe Biden seated at a desk in the Oval Office, looking serious with hands clasped.
Joe Biden admitted to The New York Times that he did not personally sign off on every pardon and commutation issued during his presidency, an acknowledgment that has sparked intense debate over how involved he truly was in carrying out one of the most consequential powers of the office.
According to the New York Post, Biden’s White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients authorized the use of the autopen to execute a sweeping set of clemency actions on January 19, 2025. This included about 2,500 pardons and 1,500 commutations.
The same report added, “The autopen application, which Biden also used to sign some legislation, allowed staff to speed up paperwork processing.”
While Biden insisted, as quoted in ABC News, that he personally made “every decision,” he conceded that he did not individually sign off on each document, saying, “I approved each of the clemency decisions before they were issued.”
