President Donald Trump held a press conference at the Justice Department on Friday, using the event to criticize far-left judges, call out what he described as corrupt prosecutors, and address growing concerns over Joe Biden’s use of an autopen to sign official documents.
Trump’s remarks focused on restoring law and order, as well as ending what he called the weaponization of the Justice Department.
Among the key topics he highlighted was the Biden autopen scandal, which has gained significant attention following reports that nearly every document bearing Biden’s signature was signed using an autopen, except for the announcement of his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race.

The issue first gained traction after The Oversight Project gathered documents signed by Biden, revealing that nearly all of them contained the same autopen signature.
The New York Post followed up with a report indicating that a key Biden aide may have been making unilateral decisions on what documents to approve using the autopen.
According to the Post’s Steve Nelson, the identity of the key staffer responsible for these actions remains undisclosed. However, an insider speaking to the publication described the situation as deeply concerning.
“I feared no one as much as I feared that [staffer]. To me, [the staffer] basically was the president,” the insider said. “No one ever questioned [the staffer]. Period.”

Trump did not hold back in his criticism of the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of official documents, questioning whether anything Biden signed with an autopen is even valid.
“Crooked Joe Biden got us into a real mess with Russia and everything else he did, frankly. But he didn’t know about it, and he, generally speaking, signed it with autopen, so how would he know? That autopen is a big deal. I don’t know, you know? Who’s doing this?” Trump said.
He contrasted Biden’s alleged reliance on the autopen with his own approach to signing executive orders while in office.
“When my people come up, Will [Scharf] and all of the people, Steve [Miller], they come up… Sir, this is an executive order, they explain it to me, and 90% of the time, I sign it. 99% of the time, I say, do it. But, they come up, and I sign it,” Trump explained.
Trump then emphasized the importance of personally signing official documents rather than delegating the responsibility to a mechanical device.
“But, you don’t use autopen. Number one, it’s disrespectful to the office. Number two, maybe it’s not even valid because, you know, who’s getting him to sign? He had no idea what the hell he was doing. If he did, all of these bad things wouldn’t be happening,” Trump said.

The Biden autopen controversy raises questions about who is making critical decisions in the White House and whether presidential authority is being undermined by unelected staffers.
With Trump continuing to highlight the issue, pressure is likely to mount for more transparency regarding Biden’s handling of executive actions.

The Justice Department has not issued a response regarding Trump’s remarks or the broader concerns surrounding the autopen scandal.
However, as scrutiny grows, Biden’s administration may face increased demands to clarify whether the president personally reviews and approves key decisions before they are signed into law.

-No doubt a large number of autopen signed Executive Orders were done w/o Biden’s cognitive knowledge. Getting his physician to admit just when Biden was non-cognitive will be impossible without him admitting to malpractice. The media – in on the scam – will be no help. As far as White House staff is concerned, they are all complicit. The best start will be to “Time Date” every autosigned document and determine if Biden was present at that time. A poor effort, but you have to start somewhere.
For all the ‘Rip Van Winkles’ out there: The 2020 presidential election was stolen by the Demonocrats FOR Obiden. EVERYTHING he has said and done has been NULL AND VOID. E V E R Y T H I N G !
Biden was not in charge. Biden spent 577 of his 1,463 days in office, or 39% of his presidency, on vacation.
Who was really running the country while Autopen Joe Biden drooled? The Biden Deep State was running the country. Socialists, DEI Woke racists, Open border anti-American, anarchists, had a free run, and bad things have happened in this country.
Trump’s DOJ should approach this by presuming invalidity of all documents in the first instance. Force the court’s to prove validity – one at a time.
