Fresh documents expose Biden autopen controversy, implicate Harris
Hold onto your hats, folks—shocking internal documents have just blown the lid off a brewing scandal in the final year of Joe Biden’s presidency, suggesting he may have handed over critical decisions to others, including Kamala Harris, with a questionable autopen doing the heavy lifting, the Daily Caller reported.
Newly uncovered memos and emails reveal that Biden’s administration might have outsourced key actions, like clemency decisions, to subordinates, raising serious doubts about whether the former president personally signed off on them while relying heavily on an autopen for official documents.
Let’s rewind to early 2021, when a draft memo urged Biden to personally approve and hand-sign all presidential actions, citing precedent from the Obama era.
Uncovering the Autopen Delegation Debacle
“Based on precedent from the Obama-Biden Administration,” the memo advised, “YOU personally approve and hand-sign” critical decisions.
That advice seems to have been tossed out the window by 2024, as internal documents show clemency approvals increasingly relied on Harris’ nod instead of Biden’s direct oversight.
While aides initially insisted Biden signed by hand, a memo obtained by Just the News admits this standard was abandoned by the end of his term—convenient, isn’t it?
Clemency, Chaos, and Questionable Approvals
Over four years, Biden granted a record-breaking 4,245 acts of clemency, more than any president on record, per Pew Research Center data.
Yet, late-term pardons for family, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Gen. Mark Milley were reportedly autopen-signed, except for a preemptive pardon for Hunter Biden—curious exceptions raise eyebrows.
Even more troubling, internal emails cited by the New York Post cast doubt on whether Biden approved commutations for about 2,500 inmates jailed for crack cocaine offenses.
Internal Confusion Over Biden’s Role
One email from then-White House Staff Secretary Stef Feldman to West Wing lawyers demanded evidence of Biden’s approval, only to be met with vague reliance on an aide’s attestation of what Biden “intended.”
“Michael, thoughts on how to handle this?” asked then-Deputy White House Counsel Tyeesha Dixon, clearly scrambling for clarity amid the mess.
Turns out, the response from Michael Posada leaned on someone else’s word rather than hard proof—hardly the transparency we expect from the Oval Office.
Trump White House Digs Deeper
The Trump White House, now investigating, claims memos show Biden was effectively “outsourcing” clemency to Harris, fueling questions about who was really running the show.
Adding a dash of humor to the scandal, President Trump announced plans for a “Presidential Wall of Fame” in the Rose Garden, complete with a “Biden Autopen” portrait to commemorate this debacle, as shared with the Daily Caller.
Well, if the signature fits, frame it—and let’s hope future administrations remember that accountability isn’t something you can just stamp with a machine.
