A senior Democrat whistleblower has revealed to DOJ officials that three key Biden administration officials controlled the controversial White House autopen and allegedly “were making money off of it” while Biden was reportedly incapacitated.
Key Takeaways
- Ed Martin, head of the DOJ’s weaponization task force, is investigating the misuse of an autopen for signing documents during Joe Biden’s presidency, with potential implications of corruption.
- A whistleblower has identified Ron Klain, Anita Dunn, and Bob Bauer as the “gatekeepers” who controlled access to the autopen and allegedly profited from this arrangement.
- The investigation is examining whether the autopen was improperly used for signing pre-emptive pardons and other critical documents when Biden was reportedly incapacitated.
- President Trump has labeled these actions as “treason” and called for accountability at the highest levels.
- Martin’s investigation is part of a broader effort to expose government abuses from the previous administration and hold responsible parties accountable.
Whistleblower Exposes Autopen “Gatekeepers”
Ed Martin, who serves as the Department of Justice’s weaponization czar and pardon attorney, has revealed that a high-ranking Democrat whistleblower has identified the individuals allegedly responsible for controlling access to President Joe Biden’s autopen. During his investigation into potential document authentication improprieties, Martin disclosed that former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, senior advisor Anita Dunn, and attorney Robert “Bob” Bauer were the primary figures who controlled the automated signature device. These revelations come amid growing concerns that official documents, potentially including pardons, were improperly signed during Biden’s tenure.
“I had a whistleblower in my office 10 days ago — senior, senior Democrat — saying, ‘Look, it was these three people that controlled access, and they were making money off of it.’ The gatekeepers were (former White House chief of staff Ron) Klain, Anita Dunn, and (Robert) Bob Bauer,” said Ed Martin, Department of Justice’s weaponization czar and pardon attorney.
Financial Corruption Allegations
The investigation has taken a more serious turn with allegations that these officials may have financially benefited from controlling access to the autopen. This is particularly concerning given the significant power the device holds in authorizing federal documents. The investigation is examining documents that were allegedly signed during periods when Biden was reportedly incapacitated, raising questions about who was making executive decisions. Additionally, Steve Ricchetti, former Counselor to President Biden, and Jill Biden have been mentioned in connection with the scandal, though their specific roles remain under investigation.
“This is TREASON at the Highest Level! They did it to destroy our Country,” said President Trump.
The revelations are especially disturbing as they suggest that unelected officials may have effectively exercised presidential powers without proper authorization. This undermines the constitutional chain of command and raises serious questions about the legitimacy of numerous government actions taken during Biden’s presidency. The DOJ is now working to determine exactly which documents were signed using the autopen, who authorized their signing, and whether those actions constituted legal and ethical violations.
Broader Investigation into Government Weaponization
The autopen investigation is just one component of Martin’s broader mandate to uncover government abuses that occurred under the previous administration. As head of the DOJ’s weaponization task force, Martin is implementing a three-pronged approach: discovering exactly what happened, holding responsible parties accountable, and assisting individuals who were targeted by weaponized government agencies. This comprehensive investigation extends beyond the autopen scandal to examine other potential abuses of power, including the Trump-Russia collusion narrative that dominated headlines for years.
“There are three things that have to happen. One is that we have to figure out exactly what happened. A lot of that’s hidden, a lot of it’s been misleading. The second thing is holding people accountable,” said Ed Martin, Department of Justice’s weaponization czar and pardon attorney.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed Martin to thoroughly investigate these issues, with support from FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who are examining the FBI’s internal operations for signs of politicization. Martin has suggested that even if some actions fall outside the statute of limitations for prosecution, his team may still be able to pursue accountability if they can demonstrate an ongoing pattern of misconduct. The investigation represents President Trump’s commitment to drain the swamp and restore integrity to federal institutions that many conservatives believe were weaponized against political opponents.
Implications for Government Accountability
The autopen scandal highlights deeper concerns about the previous administration’s governance. Martin has specifically mentioned Biden’s pardons as an area of scrutiny, describing them as “unprecedented” and raising questions about whether they were properly authorized. The investigation aims to determine if unauthorized individuals effectively usurped presidential powers, which would constitute a serious breach of constitutional governance. For conservatives who have long expressed concerns about unelected bureaucrats wielding excessive power, this investigation represents a critical step toward restoring proper constitutional order.
President Trump’s administration is committed to full transparency regarding these investigations, ensuring the American people understand exactly how government power was misused during the previous administration. As the investigation progresses, more details are expected to emerge about the extent of the autopen scandal and other instances of government weaponization. The findings could have significant implications for public trust in government institutions and may lead to structural reforms designed to prevent similar abuses in the future.
