Biden Chief of Staff Jeff Zients Who Also Served as Biden’s COVID Response Coordinator Pardoned Dr. Tony Fauci with an Autopen

Jeff Zients is a former Obama and Biden official who served as the Chief of Staff for Joe Biden.

In December 2020, Zients was named as the presumptive coordinator of the COVID-19 response team and counselor to the president.

Jeff Zients was later promoted to Joe Biden’s Chief of Staff from February 2023 until the end of his failed presidency in January 2025 when Joe Biden left office.

In May 2021, Jeff Zients was pushing for COVID boosters ahead of the Biden FDA approval for the shots.

Then FOX News host Chris Wallace roasted the Biden administration for pushing the dangerous COVID boosters early as the Biden team insisted “we will listen to the scientists and we are not going to get ahead of the science.”

Now, according to emails leaked to The New York Times, we discover that Biden Chief of Staff and former coordinator of the COVID-19 response team, Jeff Zients, was a key official in the pardon of Dr. Tony Fauci!

Zients approved of the use of the autopen to pardon Dr. Fauci and others.

Auto Pen Scandal – Did Biden’s Aides Grant Pardons?

“I approve the use of the autopen for the execution of all of the following pardons,” an aide for former President Joe Biden wrote in an email pardoning Dr Anthony Fauci and members of the January 6 Committee. The National Archives has turned over tens of thousands of emails from the Joe Biden Administration to the Justice Department from November 2024 to January 2025 as the autopen investigation continues.

The majority of the emails in question contain keywords like “pardon,” “clemency,” and “commutation.” Biden’s staff claims that the former president vocalized his clemency decisions before Staff Secretary Stefanie Feldman approved them via autopen. Joe Biden’s final debate with Donald Trump occurred during this timeframe, leading the DNC to remove him from the race entirely as Biden was visibly showing signs of cognitive decline. “I’ve uncovered, you know, the human mind,” Trump said as reported by the New York Times. “I was in a debate with the human mind, and I didn’t think he knew what the hell he was doing.”

Biden claimed during his first interview last Thursday that he permitted 25 high-profile pardons through the use of an autopen from December 2024 to January 2025. The use of an autopen was allegedly necessary since there were too many people to pardon and the president simply could not allocate time for such crucial decisions. At this time, the DOJ is uncertain whether Joe Biden actually knew who his staff pardoned with his signature.

‘The Guy’s Brain Is Mush’: Joe Biden’s Quotes in NYT Interview Deemed ‘Unintelligible’

Former President Joe Biden’s (D) ability to process and respond to information is once again being called into question after an interview with the New York Times (NYT).

Biden spoke with the newspaper over the phone on Thursday and was questioned about clemency actions he took as his time in the White House drew to a close, the Times reported on Sunday.

“Mr. Biden did not personally sign the official warrants recording those decisions; rather his White House staff used an autopen device to do so,” the article said.

The newspaper then shared excerpts from the interview.

Regarding allegations from President Trump and others that “Biden was incapacitated and his aides abused the autopen” the former president claimed:

They’re liars. They know it. They know, for certain. I mean, this is — look, what they, they’ve had a pretty good thing going here. They’ve done so badly. They’ve lied so consistently about almost everything they’re doing. The best thing they can do is try to change the focus and focus on something else. And this is a — I think that’s what this is about.

It’s — you know — it’s consistent with Trump’s game plan all along. I mean, if I — I don’t expect you to answer any questions — but if I told you three years ago, we’d have a president doing this, I think you’d look at me in the eye and say, “What, are you crazy?”

About the pre-emptive pardons he bestowed on his own family members, he said, “In terms of my fam — he — go after me through my family. I know how vindictive he is.”

Those quotes are from “excerpts” of the interview published by the Times.

BIDEN AUTOPEN SCANDAL: NY Times Confirms Biden Did Not Sign Off on All Pardons – WH Chief of Staff Zeints Approved Fauci’s Pardon

The Biden Autopen Scandal just got worse.

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.

Earlier this year, the Oversight Project revealed six criminals were pardoned by Biden’s autopen on December 30, 2022, while Joe Biden was vacationing and golfing in St. Croix.

Joe Biden defended the use of an autopen in a quick interview with the New York Times.

The New York Times also 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.

Joe Biden told the New York Times that he “orally granted all the pardons and commutations issued at the end of his term” and lashed out at President Trump as a “liar” for claiming the autopen was used without his authorization.

“I made every decision,” Biden insisted during his phone interview with The Times.

According to The Times, staff secretary, Stefanie Feldman, put the clemency records through the autopen.

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.

Nerve pain medication gabapentin possibly tied to dementia, study says

A drug used to treat seizures, nerve pain and restless leg syndrome might be linked with increased risk of dementia, a new study says.

Regular gabapentin use appeared to increase risk of dementia by 29% and mild cognitive impairment by 85%, researchers reported Thursday in the journal Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine.

What’s more, the risk was more than doubled in people normally considered too young to suffer from brain aging, those 18 to 64, results show.

“The findings of this study support the need for close monitoring in adult patients prescribed gabapentin to assess for potential cognitive decline,” wrote the research team led by Nafis Eghrari, a medical student at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.

“Moreover, this provides a foundation to further research whether gabapentin plays a causal role in the development of dementia and cognitive decline,” the researchers added.

Gabapentin has become increasingly popular for the treatment of chronic pain because it’s not nearly as addictive as opioids, researchers said in background notes.

But concerns have been growing that gabapentin might contribute to cognitive decline, since it works by suppressing communication between nerve cells, researchers said.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett Says She “Never had a Concern About” Biden’s Mental Acuity, Says She’s Concerned About Trump’s Mental Acuity

Far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) told reporters on Wednesday that she is concerned about Trump’s mental acuity and ability to lead, but she “never had a concern” whatsoever about Biden’s health and mental acuity. 

She also defended Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, for refusing to testify before the Oversight Committee and pleading the Fifth Amendment.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, O’Connor was subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee to testify on Joe Biden’s health decline. However, he pleaded the Fifth at his deposition on Wednesday after attempting to stall the deposition.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer responded to the doctor’s refusal to testify, stating, “It’s now clear there was a conspiracy to cover up President Biden’s cognitive decline after Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s physician and family business associate, refused to answer any questions and chose to hide behind the Fifth Amendment.”

But Jasmine Crockett defended his right to continue hiding the truth about Biden’s condition by pleading the Fifth, saying, “I think that he did what any good lawyer would advise him to do.”

She further attacked President Trump’s mental acuity, stating, “people have concerns about the current occupant in the White House and whether or not he is mentally fit to serve in this moment, in a moment in which he has started random tariff wars, in a moment in which he decided to say that we were being invaded by Venezuelans.”

Aides Panicked, Changed Biden’s Number After He Unknowingly Answered Reporter’s Call Then Started Answering Questions: New Book

Despite being out of office, former President Joe Biden’s aides are keeping a close watch on the former president and who he communicates with.

On Tuesday, Axios wrote about “2024,” a new book from reporters Josh Dawsey, Tyler Page, and Isaac Arnsdorf, who worked together at the Washington Post during last year’s presidential campaign.

As the title indicates, this book is about President Donald Trump’s campaign and subsequently victory to retake the White House, running first against Biden then former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Axios highlighted one especially sad, yet hilarious, moment that demonstrates just how lucky the American people are that we did not get a second Biden term and illustrates the extent of his lack of authority over his own decisions.

Pager called Biden on March 25 — two months after he left office — after having obtained his personal cell number.

“Biden said he would be willing to speak for this book the next day,” the authors wrote. “The next morning, he answered and said he was running late to catch a train. He said he had a ‘very negative’ view of Trump’s second term. … ‘I don’t see anything he’s done that’s been productive,’ he said.”

After saying he did not dwell on if he regretted dropping out of the race, Biden hung up the call.

Pager then received texts and calls from Biden’s aides, who were not happy: “After the first call,” the aides, “repeatedly called and texted [Pager]. After the brief second call, his aides blocked the reporter‘s calls to the former president,” the book continued.

“Two days later, a message from Verizon Wireless replaced Biden’s voicemail: ‘The number you dialed has been changed, disconnected, or is no longer in service.’”

Even post-presidency, Biden does not make his own decisions, his aides do.

Biden Doctor’s Refusal To Answer A Single Question Blows Up The ‘Doctor-Patient Privilege’ Excuse

Joe Biden’s White House doctor refused to answer a single question during a congressional interview on Wednesday, raising more concerns about efforts to conceal the former president’s decline while in office.

According to House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., Biden physician Kevin O’Connor pled the Fifth at his previously scheduled deposition with House lawmakers. The revelation came a day after the Trump administration waived executive privilege for O’Connor to sit down with members of the committee for the transcribed interview.

According to a House Oversight Committee official, O’Connor did not simply plead the Fifth on questions related to doctor-patient privilege, but on any and all prospective queries posed by lawmakers.

“The American people demand transparency, but Dr. O’Connor would rather conceal the truth,” Comer said in a statement. “Dr. O’Connor took the Fifth when asked if he was told to lie about President Biden’s health and whether he was fit to be President of the United States. Congress must assess legislative solutions to prevent such a coverup from happening again.”

What Is He Trying to Hide? Biden Doctor Desperately Trying to Stall Key Hearing, Cites Confidentiality

Former President Joe Biden’s White House physician is attempting to delay his testimony before Congress, citing concerns about the scope of lawmakers’ questions, sparking speculation that he is stalling for time.

Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who served as Biden’s physician during his presidential term, asked the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Saturday to “postpone his scheduled testimony over disagreements on the scope of the questions,” The Hill reported.

O’Connor is presently slated to give a deposition on Wednesday, as part of the committee’s investigation into Biden’s mental capacity, as well as his use of an autopen to sign legislation, orders, and pardons.

David Schertler, a lawyer for O’Connor, reportedly sent a letter to Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky — who chairs to committee — asking to postpone the start of the hearing to July 28.

In the letter, Schertler cited doctor-patient confidentiality as the main issue and said Republican lawmakers haven’t established what can — and cannot — be asked.

A committee representative accused O’Connor of trying to “stonewall” Congress, in comments made to NBC News.

Doctor-patient privilege is sacrosanct. Privacy should be expected and protected.

In Biden’s case, however, we’re talking about the leader of the free world. Divulging certain aspects of your life comes with the territory.

DNC Insider Spills the Beans: What Jill Biden Did ‘Was Absolutely Elder Abuse’

With the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform looking into the Biden administration and issuing subpoenas to many Biden staffers to review White House autopen use and the covering up of President Joe Biden’s mental decline, more people are coming forward with their stories.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Li, a former National Finance Committee member and former DNC fundraiser, was described as having “a front-row seat to Joe Biden’s presidency and the people who pulled the strings behind the scenes.”

“[Biden is] definitely complicit, but there were a lot of people behind him, like puppet masters,” Li explained.

“[Former first lady Jill Biden] very much knew what she was doing. What she did was absolutely elder abuse.

“There is no question in my mind,” she asserted.

“Joe was not able to do a lot of campaign events, so Jill would come out on his behalf, acting like the president or the presidential candidate.

“That’s why she graced the Vogue cover three times. She loved it,” Li continued.

“If I were to pinpoint two reasons why Joe decided to run again, it would be two people: Jill and Hunter Biden. Because Hunter Biden’s freedom was on the line and Jill’s ego was on the line.”

She concluded, the then-first lady was the one in control of and running the White House — not Joe Biden.
