Did you know that President Biden issued more than four thousand pardons and commutations in the final months of his presidency, with nearly twenty-five hundred signed in a single day? Did you know that many of these signatures were not written by Biden himself, but by an autopen, a mechanical device designed to replicate handwriting?

This video explores the scandal that erupted when the White House leaned on technology to process an unprecedented wave of clemency decisions. Internal emails show staff secretary Stef Feldman questioning when Biden actually gave his approval, while DOJ ethics lawyer Bradley Weinsheimer resigned in protest, saying the process undermined public trust. Their concerns fueled a high-stakes congressional investigation led by House Oversight Chairman James Comer, who framed the issue as a historic breach of presidential responsibility.
Critics argued that using the autopen on such a large scale weakened the constitutional principle that pardons must come directly from the president. Supporters insisted Biden had issued broad approval in advance, and the autopen was simply a tool to implement those instructions. Figures like Senator Ted Cruz and former President Donald Trump turned the controversy into a rallying point, while the irony of Comer’s own reliance on digital signatures complicated the story.
As the investigation nears its end, the outcome may shape not only how Biden’s final months are remembered but also how future presidents handle the intersection of technology and constitutional duties. Was the autopen scandal a manufactured distraction, or did it reveal troubling cracks in the exercise of executive power? This video dives into the evidence, the testimony, and the political consequences of a controversy that could define Biden’s legacy.
