Biden Used Autopen for 1,500+ Pardons Except Hand-Signed Hunter Biden Pardon
New reports reveal that President Joe Biden used an autopen to sign nearly all pardons and acts of clemency during his final weeks in office, including those for family members, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and members of the January 6 Select Committee. The only pardon Biden personally hand-signed was for his son Hunter Biden, sparking significant controversy due to its broad scope covering federal crimes from 2014 to 2024 and contradicting Biden's prior public stance of non-interference. Investigations found that many autopenned pardons were signed while Biden was physically present in Washington, DC, raising questions about the appropriateness of this practice. Despite these concerns, the autopen is legally permitted with presidential approval and has been used by previous administrations for routine and urgent documents. Republican Rep. James Comer claimed that Biden's autopen use could invalidate executive orders, but his assertions were widely mocked and dismissed by legal experts as lacking precedent. The autopen scandal has fueled debate over Biden's cognitive health and the transparency of his administration's decision-making processes.
