President Donald Trump is bringing the controversy over the Biden-era autopen front and center this month, reminding Americans that the scandals of the previous administration should never be forgotten.
Over the weekend, the president fired off a statement on Truth Social focused on the Biden administration’s scandal surrounding the alleged use of an autopen to sign important presidential documents, such as appointments, commutations, and more.
The president wrote, “The person who ‘worked’ the Autopen had no idea whether or not Biden approved of what he was doing. There was no ORDER in writing, and it was an absolutely illegal act perpetrated by the Radical Left Insurrectionists who illegally ran the Biden Administration. Every one of them should be arrested for what they have done to our Country.”
He also homed in on the events of the 2020 presidential election, which the president has often called “rigged.”
“They didn’t win the Presidency but, when you think of it, neither did Joe Biden. The whole thing was RIGGED. There must be a price to pay, and it has got to be a BIG ONE!” President Trump concluded.
In 2025, following the close of the Biden administration, alarming reports emerged alleging Joe Biden’s final days in the White House, wherein an “autopen” was supposedly used on important documents.
As reported by LindellTV, one major report stemmed from The New York Times last summer, shockingly revealing a late-night staffer allegedly giving his authorization for use of the autopen on a list of pardons. That email was then reportedly sent to other staffers in the White House.
A few of these controversial pardons included troubled figures like General Mark Milley, Hunter Biden, and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Biden, for his part, claimed that he did authorize the use of autopen for these pardons, but the outsourcing of something as simple as a signature has drawn considerable speculation, especially amid the former president’s observable physical decline during the final months of his administration.
