Gingrich Warns Biden’s Autopen Scandal Could Be the "Biggest in American History"

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has raised serious concerns about the use of the autopen under President Joe Biden’s administration, calling it a potential scandal that could eclipse even the Watergate scandal in terms of its impact.

In an appearance on My View with Lara Trump, Gingrich argued that the possibility of unknown individuals exercising presidential powers behind the scenes, without the constitutional oversight meant for such decisions, was deeply troubling.

He also suggested that the ongoing cognitive decline of President Biden might be the root cause of a situation that has allowed others to effectively run the presidency.

“The reason is, sometime in 2023, Joe Biden was no longer really there, and that means other people were exercising the power of the presidency without any constitutional limitations,” Gingrich explained.

“It is not about looking at Biden himself, but instead looking at the various Obama people who had infiltrated that system and were pulling the strings.”

Gingrich's comments come in the wake of President Biden’s controversial actions surrounding the use of the autopen, an automated signing device that allowed someone—possibly members of Biden's administration—to exercise presidential authority on his behalf.

Gingrich pointed out one example that stood out: the mass commutation of 2,400 individuals after the election. "Now, you know he didn’t have a clue. Somebody was running the autopen. Somebody was giving them instructions, and somebody was making deals somewhere. That’s just a tiny example of how bad it was," Gingrich said, suggesting that these actions were indicative of a broader issue within the administration.

The former speaker of the House further stressed that this situation wasn’t just about administrative oversight—it was about the potential abuse of presidential powers, something that could have far-reaching consequences.

Gingrich raised the alarm about the possibility that the decisions being made by individuals behind the scenes were not just overreaching but also violating the trust of the American people.

He described the situation as “elder abuse,” asserting that the decline of Biden’s cognitive state has left the presidency vulnerable to manipulation.

President Trump, who has been vocal about his concerns regarding Biden’s mental fitness, took it a step further by questioning the legitimacy of Biden’s pardons.

Trump cast doubt on the validity of these pardons, insisting that they were likely void since Biden, due to his apparent cognitive decline, may not have been fully aware of what he was signing with the autopen.

This opens the door for a broader investigation into whether individuals working for the former president conspired to deceive the public regarding Biden’s ability to execute such duties, all while maintaining a facade of authority.

Trump also called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead an investigation into the matter, demanding that the true extent of this potential constitutional breach be uncovered.

"We need to know who was running the show behind the scenes while Biden’s powers were being wielded in an increasingly suspect manner," Trump stated. "If he wasn’t making the decisions, then who was? And why was the public misled about his involvement?"

In response to these allegations, President Biden issued a statement denying the accusations, accusing Trump and congressional Republicans of using this issue as a distraction.

“Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false,” Biden asserted.

He further added that this was nothing more than a diversion to distract from the GOP’s push for legislation that would harm essential programs like Medicaid and increase costs for American families, all in favor of tax breaks for the wealthy and big corporations.

Biden’s deflection and refusal to address the real concerns raised by Trump and Gingrich only deepen the sense of unease surrounding his administration.

The mainstream media, for the most part, avoided discussing Biden’s cognitive decline during his time in office. However, some reporters and anchors, like CNN’s Jake Tapper, have recently admitted their failure to adequately report on the issue.

Tapper, who had once rebuked Lara Trump for raising concerns about Biden’s cognitive health in 2020, later co-authored a book, “Original Sin,” which delves into Biden’s mental and physical decline. Tapper has since apologized to Trump for previously dismissing such concerns.

The admission by Tapper reflects a growing acknowledgment in the media that Biden’s mental state has been a significant issue that was underreported during his presidency.

With reports now surfacing about the extent of his cognitive decline, it’s clear that his ability to lead effectively has been compromised, whether through the use of an autopen or the increasing number of executive decisions made without his direct input. It’s not just a political problem—it’s a serious constitutional issue that threatens the integrity of the office of the president.

In light of these revelations, it is crucial to focus on the broader implications of Biden’s use of the autopen and the surrounding controversy.

If Biden is indeed unable to fulfill the duties of his office and has allowed others to make critical decisions on his behalf, the American people deserve to know who is actually pulling the strings.

The fact that these issues are being swept under the rug by the Biden administration only strengthens the case for an independent investigation into the legitimacy of the decisions made under his name.

Trump, in his usual combative style, has made it clear that he will not stand idly by while the integrity of the presidency is compromised. His willingness to challenge the status quo and demand transparency is a direct reflection of his commitment to holding all political leaders to the highest standards.

Trump’s focus on exposing the truth behind the scenes of the Biden administration is more than just a political move—it’s about protecting the sanctity of the presidency and ensuring that the American public has confidence in their elected leaders.

As Trump continues to lead the charge in exposing the Biden administration’s questionable actions, it becomes increasingly clear that the issues surrounding Biden’s cognitive decline and the use of the autopen will not be ignored.

For too long, the media and political elites have turned a blind eye to the mounting concerns over Biden’s mental fitness. But with leaders like Trump, Gingrich, and others raising these issues in the public domain, it is becoming impossible for the administration to continue with business as usual.

Ultimately, this scandal—if it proves to be as significant as Gingrich and Trump suggest—could become a defining moment in American political history.

The prospect of someone other than the president making critical decisions under the guise of presidential authority is a grave concern that deserves the full attention of Congress and the American people.

Whether it is the questionable pardons, the manipulation of executive powers, or the lack of transparency regarding Biden’s mental state, the nation is facing a crisis of leadership that demands immediate action. It’s time to hold those in power accountable and ensure that the presidency remains a position of integrity and responsibility.

In conclusion, the growing scandal surrounding Biden’s use of the autopen and the increasing concerns over his cognitive decline could indeed become one of the most significant political controversies in modern history.

While Biden and his administration continue to deflect and deny, Trump and his supporters are unwavering in their push for truth and transparency. With figures like Gingrich and Trump leading the charge, the pressure on the Biden administration to come clean about who is truly exercising presidential powers will only continue to build. The American people deserve answers, and it is time to hold those in power accountable for their actions.
