The Department of Justice (DOJ) has reaffirmed that it is continuing to look into the legality of former President Joe Biden's use of an autopen for signing documents, even after reports suggested that the investigation had lost momentum. Reports from multiple sources indicate that U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office is still actively examining how the autopen was employed during Biden's presidency, contrary to claims made by the New York Times that the inquiry had been quietly shelved due to insufficient evidence for criminal charges.

While the New York Times reported that the DOJ could not establish a criminal case against President Biden and his aides, the ongoing investigation suggests that officials are still pursuing clarity on the matter. Jeanine Pirro took to social media platform X to maintain that the DOJ is unable to comment on active investigations, implying that the inquiry continues, at least for the time being. Legal experts such as Jonathan Turley have weighed in, indicating that attempts to challenge Biden's use of the autopen might face legal hurdles and could likely be unsuccessful.

The implications of this investigation touch on the broader perspective of executive powers and the legal boundaries of presidential actions. If the DOJ concludes that no wrongdoing occurred, it could further solidify the legality of such practices, making it significant not only for Biden but for future presidents as well. Conversely, if any violations are discovered, it could set a concerning precedent regarding the accountability of a sitting president's practices while in office.
