Panicked Biden Aide Neera Tanden Now Claims “Every Time” She Used Autopen Joe Biden “Signed Off Himself”

August 1, 2025

Neera Tanden is now claiming she only used Biden’s autopen when Biden “signed off himself.”

In June, 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 earlier this summer 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.

According to an Oversight Project press release, Tanden would utilize

the autopen without actually verifying from Biden himself that it was an authorized action. From the release:
“…she would send decision memos to Biden’s inner circle with no visibility of approval between sending the memo and receiving it back. Tanden’s testimony confirms that she affixed Biden’s signature onto presidential documents without direct knowledge that Biden authorized the given action.

“Given Biden’s clearly deteriorating condition and lack of capacity, it was incumbent on Tanden to actually confirm that Biden himself was capable of and actually making decisions. Instead, it appears that a close cabal of advisors were put between the autopen and the President.”

RealClearPolitics reporter Philip Wegmann interviewed Neera Tanden and she claimed that she always got a sign off from Biden before using the autopen.

Full exchange between Philip Wegmann and Neera Tanden:

PHILIP WEGMANN, REALCLEARPOLITICS: You did serve for four years in the Biden White House, first as staff secretary and then domestic policy adviser. And there’s been some debate over your recent testimony before the House Oversight Committee. The Republican majority—they say that you directed autopen signatures without knowing who gave the final approval. The Democratic minority—they call that a lie. So did you receive written sign-off from President Biden each time you used the autopen?

NEERA TANDEN: Yes. Every time I used the autopen to execute executive actions—there’s an autopen used for letters to, you know, just from the public. But whenever, every single time I used the autopen to authorize—and I didn’t use it, a career official did—but when I authorized the use of the autopen, I had the president’s signature and sometimes detailed notes on each and every time.

And so, you know, after—when I was testifying, Chairman Comer said that I was very forthcoming. So I found it very disappointing that the committee afterwards, I believe, really misled the public by saying that it wasn’t clear we got authorization. I followed the same protocol every staff secretary, I believe both Republican and Democrat, had used before me, and that was to get a president’s signature on—and I got it—twice. I had a very formal process for using it.

So, I think there’s been a lot of—I’m really glad to clarify this here because there’s been a lot of misinformation about the use of the autopen. Every time I authorized its use, President Biden had signed off himself.

Neera Tanden briefly spoke to reporters following her closed-door testimony.

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