EXCLUSIVE: 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.
"Joe Biden was the worst, most incompetent, and senile president in our country's history," press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital Tuesday. "It has been widely reported that Joe Biden handed the power of the presidency to an autopen controlled by unelected leftist staffers, who were allowed to make terrible decisions that destroyed our country."
"The Trump White House is committed to finding the answers to the many outstanding questions the American people still have about how business in the Biden White House was conducted," she said.
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.
Officials also said they are specifically reviewing whether there was any policy in place to safeguard the use of the autopen.
"What did the former president direct, versus what he did not," one official explained. "The only time a legitimate use of the autopen should happen is if the president said he wanted something done, or if he was asked for his approval."
"This has been a priority for the administration since the beginning," another official said. "The president’s signature is one of the most important signatures in the world."
