In a bombshell revelation, former Biden aide Neera Tanden confessed under oath to the House Oversight Committee that she was authorized to control Joe Biden’s autopen, raising serious questions about the legitimacy of his presidency. During a closed-door testimony on Tuesday, Tanden admitted she had the power to affix Biden’s signature to official documents from October 2021 to May 2023 while serving as White House Staff Secretary. This shocking admission confirms long-held suspicions that Biden’s handlers, not the president himself, have been making critical decisions—proving yet again that the liberal media’s portrayal of a “fully functioning” Biden is nothing but a carefully crafted lie.
The Washington Examiner obtained excerpts from Tanden’s testimony, where she stated: “As staff secretary, I was responsible for handling the flow of documents to and from the president. I was also authorized to direct that autopen signatures be affixed to certain categories of documents.” While Tanden denied any “manipulation or malfeasance,” her admission alone exposes the disturbing reality that unelected bureaucrats, not Biden, have been wielding presidential authority. This scandal is reminiscent of the Obama-era power grabs, where shadowy figures operated behind the scenes—except this time, it’s far worse.

The Oversight Project previously revealed that Biden’s autopen was used to pardon six criminals on December 30, 2022, while he was vacationing and golfing in St. Croix. Based on Tanden’s testimony, she was likely the one who authorized these pardons, further eroding public trust in an administration already plagued by incompetence and deceit. When pressed by reporters about whether there was a cover-up of Biden’s mental decline, Tanden predictably deflected, saying, “absolutely not.” But the American people aren’t buying it.
President Donald Trump, the true leader of this nation, wasted no time calling out this unprecedented abuse of power. On Truth Social, he declared: “Other than the Rigged Presidential Election of 2020, the Biggest Scandal in American History is the ‘AUTOPEN!’ Whoever used it was usurping the power of the Presidency, and it should be very easy to find out who that person (or persons) is. They did things that a Joe Biden, of sound mind, would have never done, like, Open Borders, Transgender for everyone, men in women’s sports, and far more. Fear not, however, we will bring America BACK, BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!”

Trump’s words cut through the liberal media’s smokescreen, exposing the truth they’ve worked so hard to suppress. While CNN and MSNBC continue to parrot White House talking points, real Americans demand answers. Who else had access to Biden’s autopen? What other executive actions were signed without his knowledge? And most importantly—how deep does this deception go?
