Biden doubles down on autopen use, says he was in control of White House

Former President Joe Biden has reiterated his stance on using an autopen during his time in office, affirming that he was fully in control of the White House. This comes as Republicans on Capitol Hill are currently looking into the former president’s use of the autopen.

In a statement, Biden stated, “I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.” This assertion comes as a response to recent scrutiny over the use of the autopen for signing official documents and correspondence.

The autopen is a device that replicates an individual’s signature, allowing for documents to be signed remotely. While it is common practice for presidents to use autopens for routine matters, there has been debate over the extent to which Biden relied on this technology during his presidency.

As investigations continue on Capitol Hill, Biden’s defense of his use of the autopen raises questions about the balance between convenience and authenticity in official government procedures. The former president’s insistence that he retained control over important decisions and actions during his term serves to clarify his position on the matter.

This is a developing story, and updates are expected to follow as more information becomes available.
