Explosive Revelations Raise Alarming Questions About Who Was Really In Charge
In a shocking twist that’s sending ripples through Washington, former President Joe Biden has admitted he didn’t personally approve every pardon issued during his time in office. Instead, Biden’s staff used a mechanical signature tool—the White House autopen—to authorize major clemency actions, including those that freed thousands of convicted criminals.
💥 Is This a Scandal Hiding in Plain Sight?
According to Biden himself, the mass pardons were so extensive that he let staff “replicate” his signature using the autopen. That tool was reportedly used on at least 25 official clemency orders, with some affecting over 4,000 federal inmates. Biden’s admission came during a phone interview with The New York Times, where he insisted he “made every decision,” only to later walk that back.
📧 Emails Reveal Secret Sign-Offs on Last-Minute Pardons
Internal White House emails obtained from Biden’s final days in office show that Chief of Staff Jeff Zients gave the green light to run multiple clemency orders through the autopen—without direct presidential signatures. One of those late-night decisions allegedly included pre-emptive pardons for members of Biden’s own family, including his embattled brother, James Biden.
These behind-the-scenes moves have sparked an uproar—and raised chilling questions about presidential accountability and potential abuse of executive power.
🔍 Trump Sounds the Alarm: “That’s a Crime!”
President Donald Trump didn’t hold back, slamming the practice as a deliberate cover-up and calling the use of the autopen without oversight “a crime against the country.” During a bombshell appearance on The Post’s “Pod Force One” podcast, Trump said:
“They took over the autopen. They got things signed that never should’ve been signed. They are criminals—and they must be held accountable.”
Trump also revealed his own administration strictly limited autopen access to just two trusted aides, unlike Biden’s chaotic last-minute use.
⚖️ Criminal Investigations Now Underway
The Justice Department has launched a federal investigation to determine whether Biden aides illegally abused presidential signature authority—a charge that could carry serious legal consequences. In parallel, House Republicans, led by Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY), are digging into reports that Biden’s mental state was deteriorating—and that staffers may have taken advantage of him to push through political favors.
🧠 Was Biden Mentally Fit to Make These Decisions?
A growing number of lawmakers and legal experts are asking whether Biden was cognitively capable of overseeing such sweeping legal decisions in the first place. Some emails suggest that aides created “blurbs” summarizing Biden’s supposed orders—even when those aides weren’t in the room to hear him give them.
📢 Biden Lashes Out, But Questions Keep Piling Up
In response to Republican criticism, Biden angrily dismissed the controversy as political theater, calling his opponents “liars” and accusing them of trying to distract from their own failures. But the deflections have only added fuel to the fire.
As the investigations deepen, Americans are left wondering:
➡️ Who was really running the country during Biden’s final days?
➡️ And if the president wasn’t fully in control… who was?
