WASHINGTON:

The memorandum, published on Wednesday, orders an inquiry by the counsel to the president in consultation with the US attorney general and the heads of any relevant agencies and cites Biden's use of an auto-pen to sign documents.

The directive follows months of Trump's growing critique of autopens, which can be used to affix a president's signature to scores of documents a leader might not otherwise sign individually.
