DOJ Closes Biden Autopen Investigation, Source Claims

pgnewser March 5, 2026

After another round of much sound and fury signaling nothing, the GOP’s Department of justice has allegedly quietly shut down its Biden autopen investigation in much the same way it has tried to bury the Epstein Files investigation.  The claim comes from the Washington Examiner, which cites an anonymous source. The Department of Justice has refused to comment when asked by the press about the claim.

CASE CLOSED: DOJ Makes Final Decision On Joe Biden’s Auto-Pen Investigation – wltreport.com

This is highly disappointing.

The Department of Justice has quietly wrapped up its investigation into Joe Biden’s use of an autopen.

And the result?

Nothing!

No, I’m not being facetious.

The Department of Justice, after conducting an investigation into Biden staffers using an autopen for Executive Orders, pardons, and other presidential activities, failed to garner enough evidence that the aides broke any laws.

The Washington Examiner had more on the DOJ’s decision:

The Department of Justice has quietly closed an investigation into former President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen to sign official documents, according to a source familiar with the matter.

DOJ pardon attorney Ed Martin, the former “weaponization” czar, opened the investigation while he was serving as interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. The inquiry examined whether aides may have used the signature device without Biden’s full knowledge or authorization as his cognitive abilities declined late in his presidency.

Do you recall Ed Martin? He was anticipated to be the next United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, until Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) derailed his full-time nomination; he had been serving in an interim capacity until May 2025. But he wasn’t gone for long; he was named a pardon attorney and helmed the weaponization task force inside the Trump Justice Department. He was the point of the lance on the ongoing probe into former President Biden’s use of the autopen.

Former President Joe Biden has lost a battle in his effort to limit the investigation into the use of the autopen during his presidency.

Biden had contacted the National Archives in an effort to claim executive privilege over certain documents, but the Trump administration turned down the request Tuesday, Fox News has reported.

“I am concerned that disclosure of these materials would damage important institutional interests of the Presidency, including by impairing the ability of future Presidents to receive robust, candid advice from their close advisers,” Biden said in an Oct. 1 letter to the Archival Operations Division of the National Archives and Records Administration

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, a staunch pro-life advocate known for leading investigations into the Biden administration’s aggressive imprisonment of peaceful pro-life advocates, revealed Thursday that former President Joe Biden’s Justice Department secretly subpoenaed his phone records over a 28-month period.

The subpoena, part of the Justice Department’s Arctic Frost investigation, targeted Jordan’s “call detail records” from Verizon, covering calls, text messages, voicemails and location data dating back to January 1, 2020.

The federal grand jury request was issued on April 25, 2022, and was accompanied by a nondisclosure order signed by Magistrate Judge David A. Baker that barred Verizon from informing Jordan, citing risks of “flight from prosecution, destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses, and serious jeopardy to the investigation.”

Americans Want Biden Autopen Arrests

pgnewser November 7, 2025

A new Rasmussen Reports poll shows 52% of Americans want former Biden aids connected to the auto pen scandal prosecuted. 32% said they disagreed, while 17% said they weren’t sure. Another Rasmussen Reports poll shows 55% of U.S. voters “consider it likely that, when Biden was president, members of his White House staff used the autopen to sign documents without Biden’s knowledge.”

Blurb:

Mike Howell, a leading investigator in the Biden autopen scandal, told The Federalist last week that “investigating is no longer good enough. We need accountability.”

A majority of Americans agree, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll.

The national telephone and online survey of 1,157 likely voters finds 52 percent of respondents believe former President Joe Biden’s aides tied to the suspect use of the autopen should be criminally prosecuted. Less than a third of voters (32 percent) disagree, while 17 percent of those surveyed said they are not sure whether prosecutions are in order. The survey was conducted Oct. 28-30.

Last week’s report from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform provides copious evidence of the former president’s incredibly shrinking cognitive and physical abilities, his “inner circle of loyalists attempting to mislead the nation to ignore what people’s eyes plainly showed them,” and the constitutional crisis his decline and the cover-up created.

House Declares Biden Pardons Null and Void

pgnewser October 28, 2025

The U.S. House Oversight Committee issued a report that claims the evidence they have collected nullifies the legal authority of the Biden autopen on key pardons. The report claimed, “Barring evidence of executive actions taken during the Biden presidency showing that President Biden indeed took a particular executive action, the Committee deems those actions taken through use of the autopen as void.”

The committee also asked the Department of Justice to “determine whether legal action is necessary to ameliorate consequences of any illegitimate pardons granted, or executive actions implemented, throughout the Biden Autopen Presidency.”

Blurb:

The House Oversight Committee released a nearly 100-page report on Tuesday deeming invalid those executive actions and pardons issued without proper authorization and with machine-generated signatures in former President Joe Biden’s name.

Excerpt:

The former Chief of Staff of former President Joe Biden, Jeff Zients, went before a congressional panel September 18, 2025, and testified that Biden became increasingly difficult to work with.

Jeff Zients is the last scheduled witness to take questions from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee for its investigation into Biden’s fitness while he was in office. Zients said that Dr. Kevin O’Connor told him he would take the suggestion under advisement, according to a person familiar with Zients’ closed-door interview with the committee.

Zients was White House chief of staff from February 2023 to the end of Biden’s term in January 2025. He ignored reporters who peppered him with questions as he walked into the interview with the committee. He told the committee that after Biden’s poor debate performance against Trump, he thought it made sense for the president to drop out of the reelection race.

The House committee has been investigating Biden’s cognitive state and whether staff improperly used the White House autopen for major presidential actions, such as offering clemency to felons, without authorization from the president.

Zients also said the former president’s son, Hunter Biden, was involved in the pardon discussions and attended meetings on the matter, according to the person familiar with the interview. The then-president pardoned Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of tax and gun crimes.

Here’s What Biden’s Former Chief of Staff Admitted About Biden’s Cognitive Decline – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

pgnewser July 25, 2025

Source Link
Excerpt:

As PJ Media previously reported, Ron Klain, Joe Biden’s former chief of staff, has decided to cooperate with the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline and the use of an autopen to sign executive orders and pardons without his knowledge. Klain appeared for a closed-door meeting this week, and in a surprising break from the evasive tactics of other former aides and even Biden’s personal physician, he actually answered questions.

Lawmakers from both parties described Klain’s testimony as credible and refreshingly candid. He didn’t dodge. He didn’t deflect. Instead, he painted a troubling picture of a presidency plagued by fatigue and worsening cognitive issues.

What exactly did Klain say behind closed doors? Thanks to a new report from the New York Post, we now have a much clearer idea.

Klain, who was part of the now-infamous “Politburo” running the show behind the scenes, stopped short of saying that Biden was unfit to govern or too old to seek re-election in 2024, but he did acknowledge that the president’s forgetfulness and confusion have noticeably worsened over time.

Former White House chief of staff Ron Klain revealed Thursday that former President Joe Biden wasn’t seen as “politically viable” by either his national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, or by ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during his final year in office, a source told The Post.

[…]

But the longtime adviser admitted his boss was “less energetic,” had a poorer memory and frequently mixed up names — a problem that worsened with time, the source added.

Sullivan confided to Klain that Biden was also “less effective” in 2024 than in 2022, the source noted.

Elsewhere in his interview, Klain divulged that he’d donated $5,000 for then-first son Hunter Biden’s legal defense fund at the behest of attorney Abbe Lowell, who repped the younger Biden.

 

The committee pressed Klain on everything from Biden’s use of sleep aids, which some allege contributed to his debate fiasco against Donald Trump, to internal White House preparations as the president’s faculties slipped. He revealed that by the time Biden was prepping for the catastrophic June 2024 debate, the president was exhausted, “out of it,” and much more fixated on NATO than on the basic duties of American leadership. The man running for reelection seemed more like a figurehead than a commander-in-chief.

Recommended: Barack Obama ‘Not Going to Be Indicted’ but There’s Good News

Klain’s testimony echoed the bombshell revelations recently chronicled in the media and insider accounts. He recalled an atmosphere where decisions were being rubber-stamped by a handful of unelected aides while Biden faded further into the background. Klain described a president whose memory for names and events was alarmingly poor and declining rapidly. Still, the inner circle propped him up and kept the American people in the dark. In his words and actions, Klain demonstrated that the “internal concerns” within the Democratic Party were not mere rumors but were rooted in firsthand observation and secret backroom discussions.

 

The former chief of staff also detailed how top Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and Jake Sullivan, expressed serious doubts about Biden’s fitness well before the 2024 election disaster. Sullivan supposedly told Klain that Biden was clearly less effective in 2024 than he had been just two years earlier, an astonishing admission from the very heart of the Democratic establishment. These misgivings didn’t just come out of nowhere; they bubbled up as it became impossible to ignore Biden’s “tired and ill” demeanor ahead of his head-to-head with Trump.

Perhaps even more striking, Klain didn’t indulge the media’s desperate attempts to shift blame to ageism or distraction. He reportedly told investigators that he saw no reason to question Trump’s own mental acuity, a subtle but unmistakable rebuke of the left’s favorite whataboutism over the past half-decade.

Recommended: Kamala’s Former Flame Willie Brown Burns Her Political Comeback Dreams

In testifying, Klain didn’t completely peel back the curtain, but he confirmed what millions have suspected for years and quietly indicted the Democratic machine that worked overtime to conceal Biden’s decline. No, he didn’t come right out and declare Biden unfit to serve; he would never do that, but he didn’t have to.

 

The picture he painted was damning enough: a president growing visibly weaker, a White House staff walking on eggshells, and top Democrats privately panicking while publicly insisting all was well. Klain’s account may have been measured, but the implications are anything but. The real scandal isn’t just Biden’s condition; it’s how long they all lied to cover it up.

 

Enough is enough. Democrats hid the truth about Biden’s decline while America hung in the balance. PJ Media refuses to let these cover-ups slide.

Joe Biden Receives $10 Million Advance In His Latest Deal– wltreport.com

Joe Biden has been cashing in since leaving the Oval Office.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Joe Biden sold his presidential memoir to a publisher for $10 million.

The number may sound high, but it’s significantly lower than the deals Barack Obama and Bill Clinton received.

The New York Post shared more details on the deal and how it compares to previous presidents:

Former President Biden has sold his presidential memoir for a $10 million advance – far less than the lucrative deals won by the Obamas and Bill Clinton, according to a report.

Biden, 82, made a deal with Hachette Book Group for an advance of around $10 million, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.

The book’s publisher, Hachette’s Little, Brown & Co., has not yet set a publication date.

Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama, meanwhile, sold the rights to their memoirs to Penguin Random House for a record-breaking $60 million in 2017.

Alfred A. Knopf, which is owned by Penguin Random House’s parent firm Bertelsmann, paid $15 million for former President Bill Clinton’s 2004 memoir “My Life.”

President Trump did not publish a presidential memoir after his first term.

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since the Democratic Party launched its soft coup against the political liability that was Joe Biden.

Thursday marked the day President(?) Joe Biden delivered a mushed-mouth Oval Office speech to further explain “his decision” to end his run for a second presidential term. He claimed, as he struggled to read the teleprompter, that he was putting the country and democracy above “personal ambition.”

What a guy.

“When you elected me to this office, I promised to always level with you, to tell you the truth,” Biden said. It was a bold statement from a man and an administration that had routinely lied to the American people for four long years.

In fact, some very powerful people in his party were not only telling him to get the hell out of the way, they were forcing the issue. You’ll recall Biden’s meltdown in his disastrous late-June debate against then-presumptive GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. That was the “Oh, (expletive deleted)” moment for a Democrat Party in mid-implosion. George Clooney lamented in a New York Times’ op-ed that Joe Biden was a shell of his old “Big F-ing deal” self, and Nancy Pelosi performed her best Lady Macbeth behind the scenes as dozens of liberal members of Congress did the dirty work on stage.

Joe Biden has sold his presidential memoir’s publishing rights for around $10 million, falling millions of dollars short of the sums that the Obamas and Bill Clinton received for their memoirs, according to a report Wednesday evening.

Biden sold the worldwide rights to his memoir, which does not yet have a publishing date, to the Hachette Book Group for “an advance in the range of $10 million,” the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

Biden’s payout is significantly less than those of his predecessors. In 2017, former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama received $60 million for the rights to their memoirs, according to reports at the time. Former president Bill Clinton was paid $15 million for his 2004 memoir My Life. President Donald Trump did not publish a memoir after his first term.

The news comes as reports indicate the Biden family has faced tightening finances following the former president’s exit from public office. “Biden, Inc., needs a source of revenue,” journalist Mark Halperin said in May, citing a source familiar with the Biden family. “The trough is empty, the spigot has shut down. They need a way to get back in the game to make big money to have the grandchildren fed and clothed and flown first-class.”

Trump Admin Expands Biden Autopen Investigation

It is becoming increasingly obvious to most Americans that President Joe Biden was, in fact, a committee president, not an individual. More evidence is emerging that shows President Biden wasn’t involved in much of the decision-making process during the autopen process. Now, President Trump has ordered a formal investigation of the illegal and treasonous action.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt explained the order to Fox News, saying, “Joe Biden was the worst, most incompetent, and senile president in our country’s history. It has been widely reported that Joe Biden handed the power of the presidency to an autopen controlled by unelected leftist staffers, who were allowed to make terrible decisions that destroyed our country. The Trump White House is committed to finding the answers to the many outstanding questions the American people still have about how business in the Biden White House was conducted.”

Biden Admits Not Approving Autopen-Signed Pardons Individually– slaynews.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

In a startling confession, former President Joe Biden has admitted that he was unaware of many of the pardons signed by his autopen.

Biden made the confession to the New York Times.

He told the newspaper that he did not approve many of the controversial pardons that he nominally signed at the end of his term.

Biden defended his administration’s frequent use of an autopen as perfectly “legal,” and insisted that he made “every decision.”

However, he also conceded that he delegated the details of the pardon process to his staff because there were too many to sign.

“We’re talking about a whole lot of people,” he said.

Biden’s frequent use of the autopen has fueled doubts about his authority over the White House and the legitimacy of the actions he took as president.

The controversial pardon spree of his final days in power has especially come under the spotlight.

Biden granted clemency to 4,000 inmates, including nearly every federal prisoner on death row.

He also gave pre-emptive pardons to members of his own family.

According to the Times, Biden “did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons that applied to large numbers of people, he and aides confirmed.”

Biden only approved the basic criteria that were used for three sets of mass pardons, the Times reported.

A fourth set of pardons involved high-profile Trump critics like Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Biden insisted that he discussed their cases individually.

“We know how vindictive Trump is, and I’ve no doubt they would have gone after Mark for no good reason,” Biden said.

“The general, you know.

“So they may read off his name — what’d I want?

“I told them I wanted to make sure he had a pardon because I knew exactly what Trump would do — without any merit, I might add.”

The White House used a multi-step process to record the proof of Biden’s involvement.

Senior advisers like chief of staff Jeff Zients would relay Biden’s decisions to assistants to be written down.

The assistants, who were not present for Biden’s meetings, would then send their notes back to Biden’s advisers for approval before sending them off to staff secretary Stefanie Feldman, who had the autopen.

If revisions were made to the pardon list, staff would run the final versions through the autopen without asking Biden to sign again.

On the final night of his presidency, Biden decided to pre-emptively pardon his family members.

However, Zients had the final sign-off.

In an e-mail at 10:31 p.m. on January 19, he wrote:

“I approve the use of the autopen for the execution of all of the following pardons.”

The past week finally blew the lid off the worst political corruption scandal of the 21st century. And if you’re not sure what I’m talking about, that means the criminal conspiracy behind it is already winning.

The revelations of the last seven days indicate that the coverup and exploitation of former President Joe Biden’s deteriorating health by his inner circle were more treacherous than first suspected. Moreover, we now know for sure that their conspiracy is still active.

Exhibit A: Last Wednesday, Joe Biden’s White House Physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, finally appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee after months of delays. He was subpoenaed as part of the committee’s investigation into the former president’s mental incapacity.

As the president’s official physician, O’Connor would have been consulted — and probably conducted neurological assessments on his patient — as soon as Biden started falling down in public in early 2021. He may have also tested and treated him for prostate cancer. O’Connor knows better than anyone when, how quickly, and how badly the president fell into cognitive and physical decline.

There’s a striking detail buried in the latest New York Times report on the unfolding autopen pardon scandal: the Biden officials now under scrutiny for signing off on controversial presidential pardons are being represented by some of the top law firms in Washington — at no cost in some cases.

According to the Times, a “flight of white-shoe lawyers” from firms like Latham & Watkins, Cooley and Steptoe, and Covington & Burling have swooped in to shield Biden’s inner circle, with some of the work being done pro bono.

What began as a legal curiosity has ballooned into a serious constitutional scandal that implicates some of the most powerful names in Democratic politics. At the heart of it lies a simple but damning question: Did President Biden personally approve a sweeping series of controversial pardons — such as that of Anthony Fauci — or were unelected aides quietly signing off in his name after he was no longer mentally competent to do so?

On June 4, President Trump issued a memorandum directing the Department of Justice to investigate “whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden’s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.” The memo specifically raises the possibility that Biden’s aides “secretly used the mechanical signature pen to conceal this incapacity, while taking radical executive actions all in his name.”

The Autopen Presidency of Joe Biden is Officially Confirmed

Under oath, the former director for the White House Domestic Policy Council, Neera Tanden, testified that she did, in fact, use the autopen to sign orders for President Biden. She claimed she was only using the precedent set by past administrations.

Tanden’s activist past makes the decision to give her autopen authority even more suspicious. Former White House stenographer Mike McCormick testified to congress that Tanden was a “super aggressive, very progressive operative.” He also said if there was one person willing to act on behalf of Biden without his knowledge to push a far-left agenda, “She would be the person…If she came into his White House knowing that [Biden] was debilitated, would she be the kind of person who would take advantage of that? I think she would.”

Neera Tanden, a prominent fixture in the Democratic establishment who served as director of the Biden White House Domestic Policy Council, appeared before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday for hours-long, closed-door testimony concerning Biden’s cognitive decline while in office, its cover-up, and its alleged exploitation behind the scenes.

Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, Tanden, a former Hillary Clinton aide, stuck with the narrative that Biden was mentally fit during his tenure, her opening statement showed. She also suggested that the controversial use of the autopen — a machine used to affix Biden’s signature to a myriad of documents, which critics suspect was abused by unelected individuals to advance radical agendas and to circumvent the will of the American people — was above-board.

Tanden’s spin notwithstanding, congressional investigators appear to have made headway on Tuesday thanks in part to some poetic justice.

Shield withdrawn

Despite protest from President Donald Trump and warnings from numerous critics about setting an undesirable precedent, Biden waived executive privilege in October 2021 and directed the National Archives to furnish congressional partisans with Trump-era White House records pertaining to the Jan. 6 protest at the U.S. Capitol.

Biden’s counsel noted in a letter that asserting executive privilege was “not in the best interests of the United States.”

University of Virginia School of Law professor Saikrishna Prakash, among the legal scholars at the time who understood this move could come back to bite Biden and his advisers, told the Associated Press, “Every time a president does something controversial, it becomes a building block for future presidents.”

Trump stacked on this building block this week in the interest of helping along the Oversight Committee’s investigation into the autopen scandal.

“As staff secretary, I was responsible for handling the flow of documents to and from the president,” she testified. “I was also authorized to direct that autopen signatures be affixed to certain categories of documents.”

This isn’t some minor bureaucratic quirk. Tanden’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee exposes a chilling reality: for a significant stretch of Biden’s presidency, the man who was supposed to be in charge may have been little more than a figurehead, with crucial decisions and official acts rubber-stamped by staffers operating behind the scenes.

Tanden, who served as Senior Advisor and later as Staff Secretary, openly acknowledged that from October 2021 to May 2023, she was authorized to direct the use of the autopen on Biden’s behalf.

“We had a system for authorizing the use of the autopen that I inherited from prior administrations,” Tanden claimed. “We employed that system throughout my tenure as staff secretary.”

Despite her admission, she insists there was no abuse of the autopen or a cover-up.

For weeks, House Republicans have been turning up the heat on the Biden administration—and now, one of the First Lady’s closest aides is officially on the hot seat.

Anthony Bernal, a longtime senior advisor to former First Lady Jill Biden and often referred to as her “work husband,” has been subpoenaed to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on July 16 at 10:00 a.m., according to an official subpoena obtained Thursday. The hearing will take place at 2247 Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C.

Bernal had previously agreed to voluntarily testify behind closed doors today, June 26, as part of the committee’s ongoing investigation into former President Joe Biden’s cognitive health and use of the autopen for signing executive documents. But after the White House Counsel’s Office waived executive privilege related to his testimony, Bernal abruptly pulled out of the scheduled appearance, drawing fierce criticism from Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY).

“Let this subpoena send a clear message to Biden’s inner circle: We will stop at nothing to expose the truth about Joe Biden’s decline & unauthorized use of the autopen,” Comer wrote Thursday.

Trump White House Denies Executive Privilege for Nine Former Biden Aides in Congressional Probe About Biden’s Cognitive Decline | The Gateway Pundit– www.thegatewaypundit.com

Excerpt:

The Trump White House has opted not to grant executive privilege to nine former senior aides of Joe Biden, which will allow them to testify in a congressional investigation into the former president’s mental fitness for office and allegations that his staff covered up his cognitive decline.

According to a new report from Axios, people who will be required to provide testimony include Jill Biden’s adviser Anthony Bernal, Joe’s advisers Annie Tomasini, Ashley Williams, Neera Tanden, Mike Donilon, Anita Dunn, Ron Klain, Bruce Reed, and Steve Ricchetti.

The decision means the former aides must answer questions about their private conversations with Biden during closed-door interviews with the House Oversight Committee.

The aides could challenge the decision in court, as could Biden, but no such action has been reported at this time.

On Tuesday, the White House counsel’s office sent a letter to Tanden’s lawyers, which was obtained by Axios, stating that invoking executive privilege was not “in the national interest” due to the “exceptional circumstances” of the investigation.

Biden’s Last Minute Pardons Are Now Under Federal Investigation: Report– www.westernjournal.com

Excerpt:

A new report said that a top Justice Department official is investigating multiple pardons issued by former President Joe Biden.

Reuters reported, pardon attorney Ed Martin, formerly the U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., has sent an email to staff saying he was investigating Biden’s late-term pardons.

In addition to pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, the former president pardoned James Biden, Frank Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, and their spouses even though no charges were filed against them. Biden also pardoned several high-profile Democrats who had previously clashed with President Donald Trump and doled out clemency to multiple death row inmates.

Martin wrote staff members that his investigation focused upon whether Biden “was competent and whether others were taking advantage of him through use of AutoPen or other means.”

Autopen use has been controversial because multiple reports have emerged that Biden aides who used the autopen – which generates an exact replica of a president’s signature – may have done so without Biden’s knowledge.

Biden FINALLY addresses autopen controversy — or does he? – The Blaze

Excerpt:

 

Former President Joe Biden has finally addressed the autopen controversy, but it hasn’t quite set the American people at ease.

“Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency,” Biden said in a statement to ABC News. “I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.”

“Nothing to see here,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.” “I don’t know what medium this was given to ABC News.”

“That was written by the autopen,” jokes Jaco Booyens, host of “The Bottom Line.”

Trump Orders Investigation in Biden’s Alleged Use of Autopen– www.dailysignal.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump has ordered an investigation into the alleged use of an autopen to sign pardons under the Biden administration without the former president’s knowledge.

“In recent months, it has become increasingly apparent that former President Biden’s aides abused the power of Presidential signatures through the use of an autopen to conceal Biden’s cognitive decline and assert Article II authority,” the presidential memorandum says. “This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.”

Though Biden appeared to suffer from cognitive decline, the White House issued more than 1,200 presidential documents, appointed 235 federal judges to the Federal bench, and issued many pardons and commutations.

Shortly before Christmas 2024, Biden commuted the sentences of 37 death row criminals.

Trump ordered an investigation into activity designed to hide Biden’s health from the public, agreements between Biden aides to elevate the former president’s abilities, and the circumstances around Biden’s executive actions during his final years in office, particularly policy documents signed with autopen.
