The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released undercover video of Democrat Senator Ed Markey’s special assistant admitting to using the autopen without Markey’s knowledge.
Jordan Jefferson, the executive assistant to Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey described how he and others use Markey’s autopen.
“For my Senator, we do autopen,” Jordan Jefferson told an undercover OMG journalist.
The OMG journalist pressed Jefferson, “Do you have to, like, tell him exactly what’s on it?”
He replied, “I do it because I respect your signature. But nobody else. Some people don’t ask [Ed Markey].
He continued, “I’ve never heard anybody ask, “can I use the autopen?”
Jordan Jefferson went on to explain that the autopen abuse is used to give Senator Markey cover.
“I mean, it’s easy to blame your staff, because nobody knows who they are,” Jefferson said. “Even if you did sign it, be like, oh, I didn’t know my staff did it.”
Jefferson said it’s like a get-out-of-jail-free card for Markey.
