Biden Admin Official Admits She Didn’t Know If Autopen Orders Came From President
26th June 2025
President Donald Trump is helping congressional Republicans investigate his White House predecessor, Joe Biden, and the Biden administration’s extensive use of the autopen.
Nine senior Biden aides have been called to testify before the House Oversight Committee, and the Trump White House decided Tuesday to waive executive privilege for the staffers, allowing committee members to grill them on the autopen use without any legal obstacles.
“Evidence that aides to former President Biden concealed information regarding his fitness to exercise the powers of the President—and may have unconstitutionally exercised those powers themselves to aid in their concealment—implicates both Congress’ constitutional and legislative powers,” wrote Deputy White House Counsel Gary Lawkowski in a letter to former Biden adviser and staff secretary Neera Tanden and her attorneys.
