GAI Director of Research Seamus Bruner joined Greg Kelly Reports discussing the autopen scandal involving unauthorized signatures on legislation and pardons during Joe Biden’s presidency.
Host Greg Kelly, with guests Mike Howell from the Heritage Foundation and Seamus Bruner from the Government Accountability Institute, explored who operated the autopen, questioning its use for significant actions like opening U.S. borders and issuing pardons, including for Biden’s family and Anthony Fauci.
They highlight House oversight investigations, subpoenas, and lawsuits against the Department of Justice to uncover responsible parties. The conversation shifts to a recently passed bill, praised by Speaker Johnson and President Trump, which includes tax cuts, border wall funding, and deportation investments. Despite concerns about spending increases, the guests view it as a strategic move via budget reconciliation, though limited by a slim Republican majority.
