Fox News reported on Thursday that the Justice Department’s investigation into Biden’s autopen is ongoing – NOT closed – as previously reported by The New York Times, CBS News, and NBC News.
Fox News cautioned that Joe Biden is not the target of the investigation.
On Wednesday, The New York Times and other outlets, citing sources, reported that prosecutors in Jeanine Pirro’s office dropped the criminal case into whether Joe Biden’s aides unlawfully used the autopen to issue pardons.
EXCLUSIVE and BREAKING: Despite pressure from Trump, DOJ tried — but failed — to build a criminal case against Biden and his aides for the use of the autopen. This is latest example of DOJ failing to follow through on Trump’s desires to use criminal justice system to indict and…

According to Fox News, the Biden autopen investigation is ongoing.
Per Fox News: It is also clear that the target of any potential prosecution would NOT be former president Biden himself, “It’s hard to imagine how [Biden] could be criminally liable for pardon power,” said the senior DOJ official, describing that power as basically limitless.
The Oversight Project broke the story about the Biden autopen scandal wide open after they discovered thousands of acts of clemency and executive actions were signed with an autopen rather than a wet signature.

Last March, the Oversight Project discovered there was a second frequently used autopen signature for Joe Biden’s pardons and commutations.
Autopen A and Autopen B have slight differences in the signatures.

Later, it was discovered that a third autopen signature was in use starting the first week of the Biden Presidency to sign proclamations.
Biden officials such as Neera Tanden, Jeff Zeints, Stephanie Feldman, and others were involved in the autopen scandal.
The New York Times last year reviewed some of the emails that the National Archives handed over to the Trump DOJ as part of their investigation into the autopen scandal.
The emails revealed that Biden’s staffers made decisions to sign the pardons with the autopen without directly hearing the orders from Joe Biden.
It was revealed that Joe Biden did not approve of each name for the pardons – AND after changes were made about the specific inmates, Biden did NOT sign off on the revised list. Rather, his aides just ran the final version through the autopen without Biden’s approval.
