A key aide to former President Joe Biden may have exceeded their authority by liberally using an autopen to sign official documents, according to two former White House sources, as President Trump’s aides have set up “far more restrictive” rules governing the use of the mechanical device. A document obtained by The Post outlines the narrow set of circumstances in which Trump’s signature can be affixed to documents, following controversy this week kicked off by a Heritage Foundation analysis of Biden signatures on various records, including last-minute pardons. A small group of officials under both Biden and Trump have been delegated the power to get documents “signed” robotically,

All Biden's EOs are suspect. Imagine some green-haired Gen 'Z'er bragging that he signed the President's Ex Orders.

I would really like the Trump administration to take a closer look at all those Biden pre-emptive pardons. I would jump for joy if the pardon for Chaney and the Jan. 6th committee members were to be revoked. Then of course there's Fauci and Hunter.

Well if somebody with some go-power decided to investigate the fraudulent use of Biden’s Autopens, the crooked Biden staff would no doubt lie about them mis-using the Biden autopen to push forward the leftist and progressive Democrat political agenda. Then if it came to asking Biden what he actually signed, or did not sign, when he was President, Biden would no doubt claim that “he could not remember” and anybody who has been paying attention to Biden’s appearances in the last four years could dispute such a Biden answer.

"said they never saw the person abuse their authority" These are the same people who swore Bidet wasn't senile, right? The "sharpest guy in the room"? The key issue here was that Biden was SENILE and did not know what was happening. A aid such as described could have signed anything, even things that a President might have OKed to be signed by autopen but if it wasn't actually passed through an approval process or specific Presidential OK to sign with the autopen, it's fraud.

Sounds like they are admitting POTUS didn't really know he "signed" many of the documents during his term. And as the article mentions, auto pen would be for trivial items not major documents. One may argue a lot of EO's and such don't carry much authority. There is protocol and a process that needs to be followed which should be easily obtainable to justify the excessive use.

Poor Hunter Biden. First, his meal ticket father leaves office and disappears from public view (for which blessing many of us are breathing a sigh of relief), then his California house burns up, along with a bunch of his "priceless" art. The guy just can't catch a break. On Saturday, we learned that Hunter's woes are worsening. He was facing an uncomfortable deposition in California, but a kindly judge allowed that case to be dismissed as Hunter's too broke to continue. So now the poverty-stricken former First Son has jetted off to Cape Town, South Africa, accompanied by his Secret Service retinue, to suffer from his poverty

A deranged, anti-Elon Musk dad scrawled a swastika on the side of a Cybertruck in Brooklyn in a brazen attack committed right in front of The Post. The lefty loon was so triggered by the $80,000 electric Tesla truck parked on Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights that he double-parked his Subaru – with two car seats in the back – burst out, and defaced the car. The Cybertruck’s owner Avi Ben Hamo, who is Jewish, was stunned. “I feel myself burning inside,” Ben Hamo said.

The first person arrested under Florida’s new immigration law is in the Brevard County jail. The state Board of Immigration Enforcement posted on X last night that Felipe Hernandez-Chavarin was arrested for trespassing and for re-entering the United States illegally. An arrest report says a Fish and Wildlife officer saw Hernandez-Chavarin enter a locked gate with a ‘no trespassing’ sign next to it at Willowbrook Farms in Palm Bay on Tuesday. The officer said Hernandez-Chavarin was there to catch fish with a net in the farm’s canals. Once at the jail, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office confirmed he had also been deported from the U.S. in 2019, so the illegal re-entry charge was added.

Toward the end, it was clear to voters that Biden had retreated into the bunker, the beach, or anywhere that would limit access to the White House Press Corps. Many reporters knew of his condition and said nothing out of fear of helping the Republicans or losing access.

Over the weekend, the Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act to begin deporting illegal alien gang members to El Salvador under a deal with President Nayib Bukele.

But that seems to be exactly what happened. Evidence has been emerging for a week that nearly every document Joe Biden allegedly signed after his first few days in office — every executive order, every pardon, every Congressional bill signed into law, every international treaty, every lifetime judicial nomination (including the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson) — was signed with not one, but two Autopens.
