On Thursday evening, GOP Senator Eric Schmitt (MO) demanded access to sealed Biden autopen records after Neera Tanden admitted she controlled the autopen for more than a year and a half.
Ex-Biden official Neera Tanden admitted under oath to the House Oversight Committee during a closed-door testimony on Tuesday that she controlled Joe Biden’s autopen.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer recently identified five Biden aides who were involved in the cover-up of Joe Biden’s mental decline and autopen scandal.
Director of Domestic Policy Council Neera Tanden was brought before the Committee on Tuesday and admitted she was authorized to use Joe Biden’s autopen between October 2021 to May 2023.
According to the Washington Examiner, Neera Tanden testified that she was also authorized to direct the autopen; however, she denied manipulation or abuse.
Additionally, Neera Tanden admitted she would utilize the autopen without actually verifying from Joe Biden himself that it was an authorized action.
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.
Based on Neera Tanden’s Tuesday testimony, she was likely behind the Biden autopen pardons while Joe Biden was golfing in the US Virgin Islands.

When asked if there was a cover up of Joe Biden health decline, Neera Tanden said, “absolutely not.”

Senator Schmitt said he is now demanding to obtain sealed Biden autopen records.
“It may blow this whole thing open,” Senator Schmitt said.
I just took a first-of-its-kind act on the Biden autopen coverup.
Using my authority as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution, I have submitted a “special access request” to Archivist Marco Rubio to obtain sealed documents.

“I previewed this action this morning. The Biden mental decline coverup was one of the most damning scandals in U.S. history,” Senator Schmitt said.
“A key priority of mine is to make sure that something like this will never happen again. The only way to do that is to figure out what went wrong and who was running the country. With the requested documents, the subcommittee can begin work on crafting a solution,” he said.
“This is a bigger scandal than Watergate,” Senator Schmitt said on Fox Business.

“The “special access request” is a provision of the Presidential Records Act that authorizes a congressional subcommittee to obtain past presidential records necessary for the conduct of its business, even if those records are not yet available to the general public,” Senator Schmitt said.

“Given Biden’s profound mental decline, there are serious questions about the validity of orders signed by autopen in his name,” Schmitt said.
“Accordingly, I have requested for the subcommittee access to all Biden White House memoranda concerning autopen procedures and authorization,” he added.

“I have also requested Biden White House documents about specific uses of the autopen, as well as about pardons made in the final months of his term, Biden’s “Equal Rights Amendment” declaration, and any discussion of the 25th amendment,” Senator Schmitt said.

“We can never again allow our country to be run by nameless, faceless staffers. We can never again question who is running the country or if the acts of our President are legitimate. We can never again be ruled by the autopen,” he said.
