Sacks’ accusation carries serious implications. If true, it would mean that a sitting senator may have directed executive actions through a device typically reserved for ceremonial or non-urgent documents — not sweeping policy moves, executive orders, or controversial pardons.
One of the most shocking claims involves Biden’s final acts in office: presidential pardons for members of the highly divisive January 6 Select Committee, including former Rep. Liz Cheney. Trump has strongly questioned the legitimacy of these pardons, alleging they were executed via autopen — potentially without Biden even being aware.
Trump didn’t hold back during his recent speech at the Department of Justice.
“Crooked Joe Biden got us into a real mess with Russia and everything else he did, frankly. But he didn’t know about it and he, generally speaking, signed it with autopen, so how would he know that autopen is a big deal,” Trump said, according to the Daily Mail.
He also emphasized that he refused to let staffers use an autopen during his administration.
“When my people come up” to present executive orders, Trump said, “you don’t use autopen.”
“Number one – it’s disrespectful to the office,” he added. “Number two – maybe it’s not even valid because who’s getting him to sign? He had no idea what the hell he was doing.”
The scandal was initially uncovered by the Oversight Project, a watchdog branch of the conservative Heritage Foundation. According to the group, nearly every document signed by Biden during his presidency — except one — bore the exact same autopen signature.
“WHOEVER CONTROLLED THE AUTOPEN CONTROLLED THE PRESIDENCY,” the Oversight Project posted on X last week.
They elaborated further: “We gathered every document we could find with Biden’s signature over the course of his presidency. All used the same autopen signature except for the announcement that the former President was dropping out of the race last year.”
The House Oversight Committee is now digging deeper. Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has sent formal requests for testimony to several former Biden aides. If they ignore the request, Comer has made it clear that subpoenas will follow.
“If we don’t hear anything from them in a week, then I would expect to start seeing subpoenas,” Comer warned.
Meanwhile, the Department of Justice has launched its own internal investigation. Ed Martin, who now leads the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group, confirmed that the probe into the suspicious use of the autopen is well underway.
Martin said that members of the Biden family have already been contacted, legal counsel has been retained by several individuals, and — perhaps most critically — a whistleblower has stepped forward.
While the White House has remained quiet, pressure is mounting on Biden allies to come clean about who exactly had access to — and control over — the autopen, and whether Americans were unknowingly governed by executive orders rubber-stamped by a machine at the direction of unelected actors.
This scandal may be just the beginning. With new evidence and potential subpoenas on the horizon, the question isn’t just who signed those documents — it’s who gave the order?
