Former President Joe Biden defended his use of the autopen, insisting he made all key decisions during his presidency, including on pardons and legislation.
This comes as Donald Trump and congressional Republicans investigate whether Biden’s aides used the autopen to hide his alleged cognitive decline.
Trump claims the autopen was misused to carry out radical policies without Biden’s direct involvement. His legal team is probing clemency decisions and presidential actions taken during Biden’s final days.
While Biden called the allegations “ridiculous,” Republicans argue the public deserves answers about who truly wielded executive power during his time in office.
