Biden’s former Chief of Staff ADMITS he didn’t even write the autopen approval email for presidential pardons — his assistant did. And there was no clear chain of authorization from Biden himself.
This is stunning.
Under sworn questioning, Biden’s former Chief of Staff openly acknowledged that:
✔️ He didn’t type the approval.
✔️ His assistant, Rosa, wrote it.
✔️ She had full access to his email.
✔️ No one could tell which emails she wrote and which he wrote.
✔️ Instructions were passed verbally through multiple people — like a game of telephone.
Here are the killer quotes:
Did you write the email approving the autopen?
“I do not believe I did.”
Who wrote it?
“Rosa.”
Did Rosa have access to your email?
“Yes.”
Could anyone tell which emails were from you and which were from Rosa?
“Not that I know of.”
He admits the entire system worked like this:
“Rosa gave me a phone call… I assume Bruce and Ed walked back from the meeting… and told her to reach me.”
“We were 16 hours from the end of the administration… people were off-boarding… it was thinly staffed.”
“She sent the email because I was at home and time was of the essence.”
He even admits she frequently sent emails under his name:
“It wasn’t infrequent… I’d tell her ‘email Jake Sullivan this’ or ‘email Staff Sec that.’”
And the punchline:
“There’s no way staff could delineate between an email I wrote and one Rosa wrote.”
So let’s spell this out:
The Biden White House’s official presidential pardon approvals — one of the most legally sensitive processes in government — were signed by autopen, approved through a verbal relay, sent by an assistant using someone else’s email, and no one can verify who actually wrote the messages.
This is not “paperwork sloppiness.”
This is total breakdown of presidential authority and chain of command.
And it directly implicates:
• Biden
• Bruce Reed
• Ed Siskel
• Top White House staff
• The so-called “ethics oversight process”
The Biden inner circle turned the pardon system into a back-channel free-for-all.
They can’t even prove Biden himself approved what was signed in his name.
This scandal is only getting bigger.
