WhileJoe Biden himself is not the targetof the investigation, sources confirm that the DOJ is continuing to examine whetherBiden aides unlawfully used the autopento issue clemency and other executive actions without the president’s direct approval.
On Wednesday,The New York Timesand other outletsreportedthat prosecutors inU.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s officehaddropped the criminal caseinto the autopen controversy. However,Fox Newshas since clarified that the investigationremains ongoing, with a senior DOJ official stating that it is“hard to imagine how [Biden] could be criminally liable for pardon power,”given itsbroad constitutional authority.
The controversy first erupted when theOversight Projectuncoveredthousands of clemency actions and executive orderssigned with anautopen—a mechanical device used to replicate signatures—rather than Biden’swet signature. Their analysis revealed thatmultiple autopen signatures(dubbed“Autopen A”and“Autopen B”) were used for pardons, commutations, and proclamations, raising questions aboutauthenticity and presidential authorization.
In aMarch 2025 tweet, the Oversight Project highlighted thatpardons for Biden family members, Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and othersbore thesame autopen signature. Later, theydiscoveredathird autopen signaturein use since thefirst week of Biden’s presidency.
