Former President Joe Biden released a statement this week, taking responsibility for pardons and executive orders signed with the autopen. “I made the decisions,” Biden said.
“I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false,” Biden said in a statement.
“This is nothing more than a distraction by Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans who are working to push disastrous legislation that would cut essential programs like Medicaid and raise costs on American families, all to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations.”
On Wednesday, President Trump asked AG Pam Bondi to open an investigation into Biden’s autopen signatures — especially those done late in his presidency. Trump posits Biden may not have even known what the autopen was being used for.
“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,” Trump argued in a memo to Bondi.
“This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history,” he added. “The American public was purposefully shielded from discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden’s signature was deployed across thousands of documents to effect radical policy shifts.”
“Given clear indications that President Biden lacked the capacity to exercise his Presidential authority, if his advisors secretly used the mechanical signature pen to conceal this incapacity, while taking radical executive actions all in his name, that would constitute an unconstitutional wielding of the power of the Presidency, a circumstance that would have implications for the legality and validity of numerous executive actions undertaken in Biden’s name,” Trump contended in the memo.
House Republicans, led by Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) launched an investigation last month into Biden’s autopen use.
