President Donald Trump is sounding the alarm about what he’s calling “one of the biggest scandals ever” — a bombshell revelation about former President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen to authorize sweeping executive actions and mass pardons in the final months of his presidency.
Trump took to Truth Social Monday morning, comparing this brewing scandal to two of the most controversial events in recent history.
Trump wrote, “The Biden autopen scandal is huge — while it doesn’t quite match the Russia hoax or the rigged 2020 election, it’s still among the most serious scandals in our nation’s history!”
Biden’s Final Months: Who Was Really in Charge?
The House Oversight Committee, led by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), is aggressively investigating who was truly running the Biden White House as Biden’s health reportedly spiraled out of control.
Reports indicate that in his final months, Biden struggled with severe cognitive decline and unreported cancer that spread to his bones, raising serious concerns about his ability to govern. During this period, thousands of executive actions and pardons were pushed through — many possibly without Biden’s direct knowledge or consent.
“The American people deserve to know who was actually calling the shots in the Biden White House, because it clearly wasn’t Joe Biden,” Comer declared.
“His mental decline was obvious to anyone paying attention. Instead of honesty, Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media lied, covered it up, and gaslit the American people while propping up a man unfit to lead.”
According to Comer, top Biden aides have invoked the Fifth Amendment, refusing to testify and actively delaying the investigation, raising even more red flags.
Hunter Biden Pardoned as Thousands Walk Free
One of the most explosive revelations involves Hunter Biden, who received a full presidential pardon in December 2024, triggering chaos inside the White House.
Leaked internal emails obtained by Axios reveal that aides scrambled to compile massive lists of pardon recipients, often bypassing standard Justice Department review procedures.
The results were staggering:
- 4,245 total clemency grants, including pardons and commutations.
- Over 95% issued in the final 100 days of Biden’s presidency.
- 2,490 commutations announced just three days before leaving office.
Some pardoned individuals were allegedly violent offenders, contradicting the White House’s public claim that clemency was limited to non-violent drug cases.
“We’ve never seen anything like this in American history,” said DOJ ethics attorney Bradley Weinsheimer, who resigned in protest. “It was reckless, lawless, and a direct insult to the American people.”
Autopen Bombshell: Was Biden Even Signing the Orders?
Perhaps the most disturbing revelation involves the autopen — a device used to replicate signatures.
Records show White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients authorized the use of an autopen to sign mass clemency orders, raising the chilling question:
Was President Biden even aware of the decisions being made in his name?
The Oversight Committee has scheduled a September 18 hearing, where Zients will be questioned under oath about just how widespread the autopen’s use was — and whether Biden personally approved each action, or if unelected aides were effectively running the government.
Biden Issues Blanket Denial
Facing mounting pressure, Biden issued a statement earlier this summer, taking full responsibility for all decisions made during his presidency.
“Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency,” Biden claimed. “Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.”
Critics argue this statement only deepens the mystery. If Biden truly made every decision, why are so many aides refusing to testify, and why was an autopen used to sign thousands of critical documents?
Why Conservatives Say This Could Be Worse Than Watergate
Conservative leaders warn that this scandal could eclipse Watergate in both scope and seriousness. If proven true, it would mean that the highest office in the land was effectively hijacked, with unelected officials secretly making decisions while the media and Democratic leadership hid Biden’s condition from the public.
Trump is demanding full transparency and accountability, urging Republicans to stay united as the Oversight Committee digs deeper.
“This isn’t just a political scandal,” one GOP lawmaker told Newsmax. “It’s an attack on democracy itself.”
What Comes Next
With Zients set to testify and new evidence emerging daily, this investigation is poised to dominate headlines for weeks to come.
Republicans see this as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to expose corruption at the highest levels of government and restore trust in America’s institutions.
Stay tuned — this story is far from over.
