Washington, D.C. – Senator Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat and fierce Trump critic, is under fire from Republican lawmakers demanding her expulsion from the Senate following explosive allegations that she illegally controlled President Joe Biden’s autopen during his administration to push anti-crypto policies. The claims, amplified by Trump’s White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks, have ignited a partisan inferno, with conservatives branding it a “deep state” power grab warranting ouster.
Sacks, speaking on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” in late May 2025, accused Warren of wielding the autopen – a mechanical signature device – to sign executive actions without Biden’s direct knowledge. “Elizabeth Warren controlled the autopen during that administration,” Sacks stated, claiming she targeted the cryptocurrency industry to drive it “offshore” through regulatory crackdowns. The allegation, tied to Biden-era pardons and policies, resurfaced amid a House Oversight Committee probe into autopen misuse, led by Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), who subpoenaed five former Biden aides in June.
Trump, never one to miss a beat, revived his “Pocahontas” nickname for Warren – a jab at her Native American ancestry claims – on Truth Social, calling the scandal “treasonous” and vowing “justice.” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) filed a censure resolution Tuesday, arguing Warren’s alleged overreach violated Senate ethics rules and the Constitution’s separation of powers. “She wasn’t elected president – time to boot her out,” Greene thundered on the House floor.
Warren’s office dismissed the accusations as “baseless smears” from a “MAGA revenge tour,” insisting all signatures were Biden-approved. “This is deflection from Trump’s crypto cronies enriching themselves,” a spokesperson said, pointing to Sacks’ own ties to Elon Musk. Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, decried the probe as “McCarthyite theater,” noting no evidence has emerged beyond partisan speculation.
The uproar, unfolding amid Trump’s “Midway Blitz” deportations and midterms, risks Senate gridlock. Expulsion requires a two-thirds vote – unlikely in a divided chamber – but the scandal could dent Warren’s 2028 presidential prospects. For Republicans, it’s payback for her consumer protection crusades; for allies, a witch hunt against women in power. As investigations deepen, Warren’s Senate seat hangs in the balance – a symbol of accountability or authoritarianism?
