Crucial New Detail Emerges from Testimony in “Autopen” Scandal from Oversight Project

Recently, The Gateway Pundit reported Neera Tanden, the former White House Staff Secretary, was the person in control of Joe Biden’s autopen from October 2021 thru May 2023, when she was promoted to White House Domestic Policy Council.

During the closed-door testimony under oath, Tanden testified she was authorized to direct the autopen as well but denied either manipulating or abusing the authority.

BREAKING: Ex-Biden Aide Neera Tanden Admits Under Oath to House Oversight Committee That She Controlled Joe Biden’s Autopen

The Washington Examiner reported that Tanden was given authority to use the pen and “was responsible for handling the flow of documents to and from the president.”

However, a crucial new detail has emerged regarding the closed-door testimony.  According to an Oversight Project press release, Tanden would utilize the autopen without actually verifying from Biden himself that it was an authorized action.  From the release:

…she would send decision memos to Biden’s inner circle with no visibility of approval between sending the memo and receiving it back. Tanden’s testimony confirms that she affixed Biden’s signature onto presidential documents without direct knowledge that Biden authorized the given action.

Given Biden’s clearly deteriorating condition and lack of capacity, it was incumbent on Tanden to actually confirm that Biden himself was capable of and actually making decisions. Instead, it appears that a close cabal of advisors were put between the autopen and the President.

Oversight Project President Mike Howell joined Chanel Rion on OANN’s Fine Point to discuss the autopen scandal:

The Washington Examiner also reported yesterday that Tanden “was also authorized to direct that autopen signatures be affixed to certain categories of documents” and that the administration used the “system for authorizing the use of the autopen that [she] inherited from prior administrations” through her tenure as staff secretary.

President Trump earlier this month called the autopen saga “the biggest scandal outside the rigged 2020 election,” saying that he was not a “big autopen person, fortunately.”  President Trump added that the autopen is used when you get “thousands of letters from…people all over the country” and that is where the autopen “starts and stops.”

President Trump said that Biden “was never for open borders…transgender for everybody…men playing in women’s sports…frankly, I said it during the debate and I say it now, he didn’t have much of an idea what was going on.”

In January 2021, President Trump prophesized that, “The 25th Amendment is of zero risk to me, but will come back to haunt Joe Biden and the Biden administration.  As the expression goes, be careful what you wish for.”

Howell would go on to discuss the 25th Amendment with Rion:

Final thoughts: President Trump “prophesized” about the 25th amendment haunting the Biden Regime. Certainly, nothing will happen quickly, but the important question will soon become, ‘How far will the nullification of Biden actions go?’
