A government watchdog is sounding the alarm on former President Joe Biden’s liberal use of an autopen to sign official documents, saying it raises concerns about who controlled the presidency, given Biden’s cognitive decline.
Biden pardoned six criminals on December 30, 2022, with the “exact same autopen signature” while the president was vacationing and golfing in the U.S. Virgin Islands, according to the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project.
“Note they all say they are ‘Signed in the City of Washington,’” the Oversight Project posted on X.
Around the same time, an omnibus spending bill was flown to Biden in the Virgin Islands to sign, but the pardons all appear to be signed by autopen, the watchdog said.
“Whoever controlled the autopen controlled the presidency,” the Oversight Project said.
Some prominent documents, including Hunter Biden’s pardon and Biden’s announcement that he was dropping out of the presidential race, appear to be hand signed, the watchdog found.
