House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said Friday that the panel has opened an investigation into former President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen to issue his 11th-hour pardons, adding he thinks they know the staffer who did it, the Washington Examiner reported.

Comer made the comments in a speech to the Republican National Lawyers Association’s policy conference in Washington.
