The White House is investigating former President Joe Biden’s use of the autopen, with senior administration officials telling Fox News Digital that they already are reviewing tens of thousands of documents turned over by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
Officials told Fox News Digital that the White House Counsel’s Office is leading the investigation, but said they are coordinating with the Justice Department.
The investigation is focused on communications and other records related to Biden’s use of the autopen.

A senior administration official told Fox News Digital that they are not yet ready to discuss any discoveries, but said NARA already has provided more than 27,000 records to the White House.
The official told Fox News Digital that they expect to review upward of one million documents.
As for access to records held by NARA, the official said each sitting president has access to documents held by the archives from the prior administration.
Senior administration officials told Fox News Digital that the scope of the review covers relevant documents related to Biden’s presidency and use of the autopen over several years, in an effort to bring transparency to the American people regarding the former president’s health.
The Oversight Project broke the story about the Biden autopen scandal wide open after they discovered thousands of acts of clemency and executive actions were signed with an autopen rather than a wet signature.
Earlier this year, the Oversight Project revealed six criminals were pardoned by Biden’s autopen on December 30, 2022, while Joe Biden was vacationing and golfing in St. Croix.
