Former President Joe Biden, speaking in an interview with The New York Times, said he authorized his staff to use an autopen — a machine reproducing signatures — for pardons and commutations

Jill Biden’s “work husband” Anthony Bernal became the second former White House aide to take the Fifth Amendment when hauled before a congressional committee Wednesday to answer questions about the 46th president’s cognitive decline.

F ormer President Joe Biden, in an interview with the New York Times published on Sunday, said that he personally made every clemency and pardon decision during the last few weeks of his presidency -- including those made with an autopen.

In March, Trump speculated in a late-night Truth Social post that the pardons of his perceived political enemies, including former chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, were issued “without the knowledge or consent” of Biden because they were done by autopen.

Joe Biden said every pardon and commutation he issued was his decision, calling Republican "liars" for alleging his aides illegally used an autopen.
