Former President Joe Biden's use of an autopen to sign official presidential documents has been revealed to be far more widespread than originally suspected, according to new revelations by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project.
Oversight Project lead investigator Kyle Brosnan said his team pulled official proclamations from the National Archives for the first two years of the Biden administration.
"There's around several hundred of them — and through that analysis, we were able to determine that there was a third autopen signature that was used to sign those proclamations" as early as his first year in office in 2021, he said.
Brosnan's team uncovered that there are now three unique signatures that the Biden administration used via the autopen to sign documents during the former president's four years in the White House. The uniform and flawless nature of the signatures across hundreds of documents suggests a mechanical output leading the team to uncover a third, previously undiscovered, use of the device.
In May, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., confirmed the panel will continue its investigation into Biden's cognitive decline and emerging reports of regular use of an autopen to sign official presidential documents.
"The American people deserve to know who was actually calling the shots in the Biden White House, because it wasn't Joe Biden. His mental decline was obvious to anyone paying attention. But instead of being honest, the Biden administration, Democrats in Congress, and the legacy media lied and covered it up," Comer said.
"They gaslit the American people while propping up a man who was unfit to lead," he added.
Last week, Biden issued a statement dismissing any concerns that he was not fully aware of the documents he was signing, saying, "Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn't is ridiculous and false."
Last week, President Donald Trump issued an executive order for the attorney general to determine whether other individuals within the Biden White House conspired to deceive the public about his mental state and determine the legitimacy of those policy documents that were signed via use of the autopen.
