(DCNF)—Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is urging the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate whether former President Joe Biden’s staff exploited his mental decline to implement far-left policies, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Biden’s executive actions — including last-minute clemency grants to violent criminals and sentence commutations for death row inmates — are “legally void” if he did not give his knowing approval, Bailey wrote Tuesday in a letter to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
“By now, Biden’s mental decline is famous,” Bailey wrote. “Under the 25th Amendment, his inability to make decisions should have meant a succession of power. Instead, it appears staffers and officers in the Biden administration may have exploited Biden’s incapacity so they could issue orders without an accountable President of sound mind approving them.”

There are “profound reasons to suspect that Biden’s staff and political allies exploited his mental decline,” which was evident before he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, Bailey noted.
Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on Biden’s handling of classified documents described him as “an elderly man with a poor memory.”
Biden was not aware he signed a moratorium on energy exports to Europe when Speaker of the House Mike Johnson asked about the decision, Johnson revealed during a January interview with The Free Press.
Aides carefully controlled Biden’s schedule and took on some of his responsibilities amid his decline, the Wall Street Journal reported in December.
“I thus ask you to launch an investigation, or refer my request to another investigative body, to determine which of Biden’s purported orders were knowingly issued by a competent President and which were not,” Bailey wrote.
In his final days in office, Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden. He pardoned several family members and issued preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci and Gen. Mark Milley, along with members of the Jan. 6 committee, in the hours before Trump’s inauguration.
Biden’s list of 2,500 individuals convicted on drug offenses, whom he described as “non-violent” when commuting their sentences, included two men whose actions led to the death of a police officer and another who murdered an eight-year-old boy and his mother. Biden ignored recommendations made by his own DOJ when he commuted sentences for some of these violent criminals, according to an internal email reported by the WSJ in February.
On his way out, Biden also declared the Equal Rights Amendment was part of the Constitution, despite the National Archives clearly stating otherwise.
“Who has been running the country for the last few years?” Bailey wrote. “I fear that Mr. Biden, while he held the office of President, did so in name only and was a mere puppet for far-left, unelected staffers. The people deserve to know the truth.”

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
