Neera Tanden, a former top aide for President Joe Biden, told Congress that she had authorization to direct autopen signatures for the president but does not know who gave the final order.
Tanden served as the director of Biden’s Domestic Policy Council and she told Congress during a testimony on Tuesday that the president used an automatic signature tool allowing for aides to sign pardons, memos, and other official documents in the White House. Tanden said she did not know who authorized those signatures. Per Fox News:
During Tanden’s interview before Congress, which lasted more than five hours, she told lawmakers that, in her role as staff secretary and senior advisor to the former president between 2021 and 2023, she was authorized to direct autopen signatures on behalf of Biden, an Oversight Committee official told Fox News.
Tanden, who reportedly said during her testimony that she had limited interactions with Biden in her role, according to sources familiar with her testimony, described an approval process that left her – at least partly – in the dark about who specifically was giving final approval on the decisions to use the automatic signature tool, even though she simultaneously insisted Biden was in charge.
Tanden reportedly testified that to get approval for the use of autopen signatures she would send decision memos to members of Biden’s inner circle. However, she added that she was not aware of what actions or approvals took place between the time she sent the decision memo and the time she received it back with the necessary approval, according to the source familiar.
A minority member of the Oversight Committee called Tanden’s characterization “a lie,” with a statement from a former White House staffer saying that they received a “written sign off [from Biden] on every executive action...

BULL CRAP......SHE’S IN ON EVERYTHING! WHO TOLD HER IN GHE FIRST PLACE?
Hunter and Jill were selling them for $$CASH.
“You are avare, of course, zat ve have certain methods... of making you talk”.
She knows and this is exactly what many Trump supporters thought was happening.
So Biden couldn’t sign a document but did sign the authorization of the autopen’s use to sign the document he couldn’t sign?
Trump told reporters on Air Force One Sunday that while he uses an autopen for correspondence, it’s shameful to use one when signing documents such as pardons.
Does this stupid woman really expect anyone to believe she does not know from whom the authorization came to use the autopen? I guess Democrats and other morons will believe it, but no one of common sense will.
Essentially...................
This liberal also opposed Trump moving the embassy to Jerusalem https://www.jns.org/top-biden-nominee-previously-called-us-recognition-of-golan-heights-as-blatant-political-move/
“I cannot recall” - just like Droolin’ Joe...
FUNT!!! Show's over, you red-dot goonjabber!
This is like the testimony of Craig Livingstone (remember him?) who didn’t know who his boss was or who told him to scan hundreds of FBI files.......................
Perhaps you could ask this woman who gave her these authorizations and then ask them who gave them permission?
I’m thinking we don’t need Sherlock Holmes for this?
This is Craig Livingstone 2.0.................
It was a hallway conversation. She was stepping out a meeting one day, and someone passed her and casually said, "Hey, Neera, I hear you're in charge of the autopen now." And she said, "Really?" and the other person said, "That's what I heard." And that's how it all happened. That's how most top-level stuff gets done, right?
Well, if the dementia patient signed an order to sign his name with the autopen, that document must exist. Yet, it appears that it does not. Therefore, someone orally told this person to use the autopen without leaving a paper trail. That should be enough for these autopened signatures to be of no legal affet.
I’ll bet it was Jill. Excuse me, DOCTOR Jill.
She had control but doesn’t know who gave order!!!
“Yes this is Vladimir. I have pardons to get signed by big dummy. Who do we send them to?
