David Sacks, President Trump’s top AI advisor, claimed that Sen. Elizabeth Warren “controlled” the autopen used for former President Joe Biden’s executive orders—an allegation fueling a growing scandal. Sacks, speaking to Fox News, accused Warren of pushing anti-crypto policies by influencing Biden’s autopen usage, which produces facsimile signatures and is traditionally reserved for ceremonial documents.
The controversy escalated after Biden’s final executive acts—such as pardons for January 6 committee members—were allegedly signed with the autopen, prompting Trump to question their validity. “Maybe it’s not even valid because he had no idea what he was doing,” Trump said.
The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project revealed that nearly all Biden-era documents bore the autopen signature, except for his presidential dropout statement. House Oversight Chair James Comer is now pursuing testimonies, warning of subpoenas. Meanwhile, DOJ’s new pardon attorney Ed Martin confirmed an ongoing investigation into the autopen’s use, noting whistleblower involvement and legal counsel retained by key figures.
