The 44-year-old former first daughter filed the paperwork in Philadelphia\u2019s Court of Common Pleas on Monday, according to The Post.<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s Instagram post that same day featured a photo of her walking through a park and giving a thumbs-up, set to Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s song \u201cFreedom.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also shared a quote that read, \u201cNew life, new beginnings, means new boundaries. New ways of being that won\u2019t look or sound like they did before.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reason for the separation was not immediately clear. Divorce records are not made public in Philadelphia. Two years after her late older brother, Beau Biden, introduced them, Biden and Krein married in Greenville, Delaware, in June 2012.<\/p>\n

Ashley publicly acknowledged her wedding while introducing her father at the Democratic National Convention last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the time, my dad was vice president, but he was also that dad who literally set up the entire reception. He was riding around in his John Deere 4-wheeler, fixing the place settings, arranging the plants, and, by the way, he was very emotional,\u201d she told the crowd.<\/p>\n

Joe Biden himself is also facing difficult news this week.<\/p>\n

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer says his investigation into Joe Biden\u2019s alleged mental decline could potentially be used to challenge some of the former president\u2019s pardons and executive orders. Comer argues that Biden\u2019s staff have failed to establish that the former president knew what he was signing during his final months in office.<\/p>\n

The Kentucky Republican told Just the News<\/em> that Biden\u2019s frequent use of an autopen raises serious legal questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s questionable whether or not it\u2019s legal to use an autopen on a legal document, but what\u2019s not questionable is if the President of the United States had no idea what was being signed with using the autopen in his name,\u201d Comer said. \u201cThen, you know, that\u2019s not legal. We could see criminal charges against some.\u201d<\/p>\n

Comer said his committee\u2019s evidence could also be used to call some of Biden\u2019s clemency actions into question, noting that the president\u2019s poor performance during the summer 2024 debate \u201cgave rise to questions about his mental capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden dropped out of the presidential race one month later and endorsed Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI think at the end of the day, our investigation \u2026 could be used as evidence in trying to overturn some of those pardons and some of the executive orders, because the autopen was used so frequently \u2026 after that debate,\u201d Comer said.<\/p>\n

Former Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz told Just the News<\/em> in March that such challenges would \u201cend up in court.\u201d He explained that there would be two main issues: \u201cOne, the nature of what was signed \u2013 was it a pardon, or was it a bill from Congress, for example. And second, the nature of the autopen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dershowitz said the Constitution states regarding bills: \u201c\u2018If he approves, he shall sign it.\u2019 So it says, \u2018sign it.\u2019 Sign it. So an autopen would raise a real problem if he signed it by autopen, which is not a real signature.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding pardons, he said, \u201cit will still raise the issue: Did he actually pardon? Or did somebody else just write the signature without really getting approval from President Biden?\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s first debate of the 2024 campaign season was described as \u201chalting\u201d and \u201cdisoriented,\u201d with former Obama adviser David Axelrod saying, \u201cI think there was a sense of shock actually, how he came out at the beginning of this debate\u2026 I think the panic had set in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Republicans had long questioned Biden\u2019s mental capacity.<\/p>\n

Special Counsel Robert Hur\u2019s February 2025 report on Biden\u2019s handling of classified documents noted that he \u201cwould likely present himself\u2026 as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.\u201d Hur said Biden could not recall the years he served as vice president or the year his son Beau died.<\/p>\n

Last month, Biden defended his decisions regarding pardons to The New York Times<\/em>, stating, \u201cI made every decision\u201d on pardons. However, aides confirmed that he \u201cdid not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
