In an interview before Congress, a top Biden aide revealed she was authorized to direct autopen signatures, although she was unsure of who in the former President’s inner circle was truly wielding the autopen.

Fox News has the story:

During Tanden’s interview before Congress, which lasted more than five hours, she told lawmakers that, in her role as staff secretary and senior advisor to the former president between 2021 and 2023, she was authorized to direct autopen signatures on behalf of Biden, an Oversight Committee official told Fox News.

The system of approval used, according to Tanden’s testimony relayed to Fox News, was inherited from previous administrations.

Tanden, who reportedly said during her testimony that she had limited interactions with Biden in her role, according to sources familiar with her testimony, described an approval process that left her – at least partly – in the dark about who specifically was giving final approval on the decisions to use the automatic signature tool, even though she simultaneously insisted Biden was in charge.

Tanden reportedly testified that to get approval for the use of autopen signatures she would send decision memos to members of Biden’s inner circle. However, she added that she was not aware of what actions or approvals took place between the time she sent the decision memo and the time she received it back with the necessary approval, according to the source familiar.

This is the latest in the scandal surrounding Biden’s use of the autopen. For months now, we’ve tracked how Republicans, especially Representative James Comer and the House Oversight Committee, have worked to figure out who exactly what using Biden’s signature to sign key orders and pardons.

Tanden is far from the last Biden official who will stand before Congress. The Oversight Committee is still looking to hear from the former President’s doctor, as well as other aides, advisors, and even close confidants.

While Tanden was authorized to direct the autopen, even she didn’t know who exactly what in charge. In many ways, her testimony seems to provide more questions than answers.

Nevertheless, her testimony should fuel our prayers. As the House Oversight Committee continues to investigate, let’s pray for the full truth to be revealed!
