The controversy centers on the autopen, a tool traditionally reserved for ceremonial or low-stakes correspondence. Under Biden, however, its use appears to have exploded — including on major presidential acts like pardons.
Among the most controversial? Biden’s end-of-term pardons of figures tied to the highly divisive January 6 Committee, including former Rep. Liz Cheney. Trump and his allies argue these may be invalid.
“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 in a fiery speech at the DOJ on Friday, according to the Daily Mail.
“When my people come up” to have him sign an executive order, Trump said “you don’t use autopen.”
“Number one – it’s disrespectful to the office,” he claimed. “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 conservative Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project has been digging deep into the matter and recently published its findings online, stirring further alarm.
“WHOEVER CONTROLLED THE AUTOPEN CONTROLLED THE PRESIDENCY,” the group declared on X.
“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,” they added.
That explosive discrepancy — one signature different, on arguably the most important document of Biden’s term — has added fuel to suspicions that someone else was calling the shots inside the White House.
Now, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Chair of the House Oversight Committee, is ramping up pressure. He’s already issued formal testimony requests to dozens of Biden-era staffers and confidants and isn’t mincing words about what happens if they don’t comply.
“If we don’t hear anything from them in a week, then I would expect to start seeing subpoenas,” Comer said.
The Department of Justice has also launched its own internal probe. Ed Martin, the incoming pardon attorney and leader of the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group, confirmed that a federal investigation into the autopen’s abuse is well underway.
Martin has reportedly contacted members of the Biden family, and several individuals connected to the scandal have already hired legal teams. Most notably, a whistleblower has stepped forward — and the allegations, according to sources, are deeply troubling.
As the scandal continues to unravel, one thing is becoming clear: If the autopen was misused to bypass presidential awareness or approval, it could throw the legality of dozens — if not hundreds — of executive decisions into question.
And if Senator Warren truly was the one behind the curtain, it would mark one of the most shocking power grabs in modern American political history.
Stay tuned. This is just the beginning.
