SUMMARY: Republicans are investigating former President Biden’s use of an autopen to sign pardons at the end of his term, questioning his cognitive abilities and decision-making. Biden defended his use of the device in a New York Times interview, explaining it was due to the large volume of pardons and asserting he personally made all decisions. He called Republican claims about his mental sharpness lies and said pardons were meant to protect staff and family from politically motivated prosecutions. Biden’s doctor invoked the Fifth Amendment during congressional testimony, fueling speculation of a coverup. The House Oversight Committee continues probing, with more witnesses expected.

Former President Biden is calling Republicans liars for claiming someone else was actually calling the shots on the pardons granted that were signed in his name by autopen. In a new interview Biden says he made every decision, but Republicans are demanding answers under oath from his aides.

SUMMARY: SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey opened SEC Media Days in Atlanta discussing key topics for the 2025 college football season. He expressed opposition to expanding the College Football Playoff beyond 12 teams, calling 12 the ideal number. Sankey addressed questions about the recent House v. NCAA settlement allowing direct athlete payments but capping roster spending at \$20.5 million for 2025. A major topic is whether the SEC will add a ninth conference game, matching the Big Ten and Big 12’s schedules. A decision is expected soon to finalize the 2026 schedule before the season starts August 23.
