Something strange has been going on in the White House.
A new video making the rounds online, highlighted in a post by Johnny Midnight, dives into what’s now being called the “Biden Autopen Scandal.”
At the center of the controversy? Allegations that President Joe Biden didn’t personally sign key presidential documents.

Now, using an autopen isn’t new. Past presidents have used it occasionally, like to sign routine letters or non-urgent documents when they were away from Washington.
But here’s where it gets controversial: critics say the Biden administration may have used it for official executive actions, including pardons and orders with real legal consequences—at times when President Biden may not have been mentally or physically fit to lead.
That’s not just a technicality. If true, it’s a potential constitutional crisis.
Who Signed What—and Why It Matters
Autopen devices can legally reproduce a signature, but there’s one big catch: they’re supposed to be used with the full intent and direction of the person whose name is being signed.
If a president is unaware, incapacitated, or coerced? That changes the story entirely.
According to coverage from outlets like Newsweek, Fox News, and Axios, this isn’t just a one-time issue.
Several key documents—some as recent as late 2024—may have been signed using the device.
One of the most controversial? The announcement of Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race.
That document, some claim, didn’t bear a traditional signature.
Critics are now asking: was Biden even aware of what he was “signing”?
The “Inner Circle” Running the Show?
The video shared on X features excerpts from Fox News, MSNBC, and Axios journalist Alex Thompson, who reported on the tight-knit group of advisors surrounding Biden.
Names like Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti, Bruce Reed, and Anthony Bernal are mentioned frequently.
The suggestion? That this small group may be making key decisions behind closed doors—and simply using the president’s signature to rubber-stamp their agenda.
Some are calling it a modern-day puppet presidency. Others are being even more direct, using phrases like “deep state,” “shadow government,” and “silent coup.”
Accusations of Elder Abuse
Perhaps the most heartbreaking accusation to emerge from this scandal is the charge of elder abuse—specifically directed at First Lady Jill Biden and those closest to the president.
Critics say they’ve propped up a man in visible cognitive decline and allowed others to act on his behalf while pretending he’s still in control.
A Washington Post columnist recently questioned whether Jill Biden’s role was that of a supportive spouse—or a gatekeeper covering for a failing presidency.
The Times of India even ran a story citing allegations of emotional manipulation and moral failure.
If this were a nursing home and not the White House, someone might be facing an investigation.
Legal Fallout: What Happens If This Is True?
Here’s where things get messy.
If the autopen was used in ways that violated the law—or worse, without the president’s knowledge—then everything signed that way could be challenged.
Executive orders. Pardons. Diplomatic documents. Even judicial appointments.
Legal scholars say it’s a gray area. Yes, autopen use has precedent, but context matters.
If the person signing wasn’t capable of giving proper direction, those documents might not hold up in court.
Think about that. Every action taken under the Biden presidency could be called into question.
That’s not hyperbole—that’s a potential constitutional meltdown.
Public Outrage and Political Pressure
Social media has erupted over the story.
Some want a full investigation. Others are even calling for the nullification of major policies enacted under his watch.
Even some on the left are uneasy. The idea that a president could be sidelined while others operate in his name strikes at the core of American governance.
Final Thought
Was Joe Biden signing documents—or was someone else making decisions for him while his signature was mechanically stamped on?
If that’s the case, we’re not just talking about an abuse of technology—we’re talking about an abuse of democracy.
