David Sacks, former President Donald Trump’s top AI advisor, sparked controversy this week by alleging that Senator Elizabeth Warren played a central role in the use of an autopen to sign executive orders during President Joe Biden’s final year in office. In a Fox News interview with Jesse Watters, Sacks claimed Warren “controlled” the device and used it to push a political agenda, particularly targeting the cryptocurrency industry. He accused her of trying to drive crypto innovation offshore by influencing policies without Biden’s direct involvement. Though Sacks offered no hard evidence, his remarks have added fuel to a growing scandal questioning whether Biden personally approved key executive decisions, including presidential pardons.

The situation escalated following a report from the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, which stated that nearly all official documents signed during Biden’s presidency—including major orders—were executed using the autopen. The only exception was his statement announcing his 2024 campaign withdrawal. Trump has since argued that the use of the autopen undermines the legitimacy of those orders, calling it “disrespectful” during a speech at the Department of Justice. In response, House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) launched an investigation and warned that subpoenas could be issued if former Biden officials do not comply. Additionally, Ed Martin, now serving as the DOJ’s pardon attorney, confirmed an ongoing investigation into the autopen’s role in Biden’s final pardons. A whistleblower has reportedly stepped forward, raising serious concerns about the authenticity and legality of executive actions taken during Biden’s final months in office.
