Trump blasts Biden, aides for use of autopen

  • Republican investigators, led by the head of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, along with President Donald Trump, are conducting a probe into President Biden's reported use of an autopen to sign a series of last-minute pardons and executive actions in early 2025.
  • The investigation follows allegations that Biden's staff could have deployed the autopen without his direct approval, amid growing doubts about his cognitive health and his recent announcement of an aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis.
  • The investigation focuses on 57 clemency warrants that affected over 4,000 people, of which 32 were signed using two distinct autopen signature styles called Autopen A and Autopen B.
  • Former Heritage Foundation chief counsel Kyle Brosnan called these pardons "some of the broadest we've ever seen" and emphasized constitutional concerns if they were issued without proper presidential authorization.
  • The Justice Department under Trump-appointed Ed Martin has pledged internal reviews, and Comer plans subpoenas of Biden aides to clarify if autopen use bypassed presidential accountability, signaling intensified GOP scrutiny of Biden's executive decisions.
