President Donald Trump announced the termination of executive orders from former President Joe Biden’s time in office allegedly signed using an autopen in a Friday social media post.
Trump claimed people surrounding Biden in the White House “took the Presidency away from him” using the autopen and noted the importance of executive orders coming directly from the president. The president’s move followed Attorney General Pam Bondi opening a probe into allegations of a digital autopen being used to sign pardons and other executive orders in response to a House Oversight Committee report.

“Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States,” Trump wrote.
“The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the autopen process and, if he says he was, He will be brought up on charges of perjury,” Trump continued.
Former Biden aide Neera Tanden testified in June to the House Oversight Committee that she was allowed to direct the use of the autopen from October 2021 to May 2023 while serving as the president’ staff secretary and senior advisor, according to opening remarks obtained by the Washington Examiner. She also told the committee her contact with Biden was minimal and she was not certain exactly who gave final approval for the autopen’s use, Republican House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said via a statement.
Trump told the Daily Caller that he was recognizing the Biden presidency in a “Presidential Wall of Fame” with a “Biden Autopen” portrait in an Aug. 29 interview.
