SUMMARY

The Trump Justice Department has quietly shelved its investigation into former President Biden’s use of an autopen for signing official documents.

The probe, opened by interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin — the former “weaponization” czar — never advanced to a grand jury. It was wound down under current U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, a longtime Trump ally.

Prosecutors concluded there is no readily identifiable or applicable criminal statute covering the practice.

The White House referred inquiries to the Justice Department, which declined to confirm or deny the existence of the investigation per policy.
