This disclosure comes amid ongoing investigations led by GOP members, particularly House oversight Chairman James Comer, into the use of the autopen and whether biden was aware of its application, especially concerning last-minute pardons. Feldman, who has served in various roles under biden as the obama administration-including as director of the Office of gun Violence Prevention-has not yet been called for a formal interview in the autopen inquiry. The investigation has involved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-seeks-answers-from-hunter-biden-linked-firm-accused-of-illegal-foreign-lobbying\/\" title=\"... wants answers from Hunter ...-linked firm accused of illegal foreign lobbying\">closed-door interviews<\/a> and subpoenas, including an instance where Biden&#8217;s physician invoked the Fifth Amendment. Following Biden&#8217;s election losses, Feldman has transitioned to consulting work and writes about political strategy on her Substack.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Biden aide Stefanie Feldman revealed as manager of autopen<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2173678\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/BIDEN\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Biden<\/a> aide<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">&nbsp;Stefanie Feldman was revealed as the manager of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/WHITE-HOUSE\/\" target=\"_blank\">White House <\/a>autopen<\/span> as investigations into the former administration continue.<\/p>\n<p>Feldman, a longtime staffer for Biden, was revealed to be the operator of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/autopen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">autopen<\/a> as multiple investigations have been launched by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/GOP\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">GOP<\/a> to investigate if the former president knew what the autopen was being used for, according to emails obtained by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/07\/13\/us\/politics\/biden-pardon-autopen-trump.html\"><em>The New York Times<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3470261\/biden-staff-approved-mass-last-minute-pardons-with-autopen\/\">Biden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-staff-approved-mass-last-minute-pardons-with-autopen\/\" title=\"...\u2019s staff approved mass last-minute pardons with ...\">staff approved mass<\/a> last-minute pardons with autopen<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3469745\/johnson-house-big-appetite-bill-new-sanctions-russia-bully-putin\/\">Johnson says House has &#8216;big appetite&#8217; for bill with new sanctions on Russia and &#8216;bully&#8217; Putin<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3469722\/raskin-trump-pam-bondi-closest-thing-deep-state-epstein-files\/\">Raskin says Trump and Bondi &#8216;closest thing&#8217; to deep state in refusal to release Epstein files<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3470261\/biden-staff-approved-mass-last-minute-pardons-with-autopen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>BIDEN&rsquo;S STAFF APPROVED MASS LAST-MINUTE PARDONS WITH AUTOPEN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This comes as House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has launched an extensive investigation into the use of the autopen and the &ldquo;cover-up&rdquo; of Biden&rsquo;s &ldquo;mental decline.&rdquo; Two former Biden aides have been interviewed behind closed doors since the investigation began.<\/p>\n<p>His physician, Kevin O&rsquo;Connor, invoked his Fifth Amendment when he appeared for his deposition following his subpoena.
