Ed Martin, a pardon attorney and head of the Department of Justice’s weaponization task force, is launching an official investigation into former President Joe Biden’s pardons issued in the waning days of his failed presidency.

This, according to an email sent to staff on Monday.

Martin will delve into the question of whether or not Biden “was competent and whether others were taking advantage of him through use of AutoPen or other means,” according to the message obtained by Reuters.

The focus of the bombshell investigation will be on the sweeping pardons granted to members of the Biden family. It will also encompass the 37 individuals who had death row sentences converted to life in prison.
