A growing political scandal centers around President Joe Biden’s alleged overuse of the autopen to sign key executive orders and pardons during his final year in office. David Sacks, AI advisor to former President Trump, claimed on Fox News that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) “controlled” the autopen, accusing her of using it to undermine the crypto industry.
The Oversight Project, linked to the Heritage Foundation, uncovered dozens of documents allegedly signed with a facsimile signature, raising concerns about Biden’s awareness and involvement. Particularly controversial are pardons reportedly issued to members of the January 6 committee, including Liz Cheney. Trump has called these actions “invalid” and disrespectful to the presidency. House Oversight Chair James Comer is demanding testimony from former Biden staff, threatening subpoenas. Ed Martin, now leading a DOJ task force, confirmed an active investigation into autopen use, with a whistleblower coming forward. Critics argue the autopen may have been used to conceal Biden’s cognitive decline and unlawfully delegate presidential authority.
