Joe Biden Responds Sharply to President Trump’s

Former President Joe Biden has responded to accusations from President Donald Trump, who recently claimed Biden used an autopen—a device that replicates a signature—to sign important documents during his presidency. Trump provided no evidence for the allegation but implied Biden’s aides made key decisions on executive orders and legislation. In a statement to ABC News, Biden firmly denied the claim, asserting he personally made all major decisions during his time in office and called the accusation “ridiculous and false.”

Biden also dismissed Trump’s call for an investigation into his mental fitness, describing it as a political distraction. Legally, the Justice Department has confirmed that using an autopen is allowed if the president authorizes it, and several past presidents have used it while traveling. Interestingly, Trump’s current critical tone contrasts with his earlier sentiment; just weeks ago, he expressed sympathy for Biden’s recent cancer diagnosis, wishing him and his family well.
