Unearthed Biden palm cards list Clinton, Schumer bios
Fox News Digital obtained five hand‑sized Biden‑era "palm cards" from National Archives material tied to a review of White House records. The cards include photos and short bios of high‑profile figures — including Hillary Clinton and Denzel Washington — and at least one card labeled for a "Judicial Confirmations Milestone Speech" showing Sen. Chuck Schumer and Sen. Dick Durbin; four of the five cards carry a "PRESIDENT HAS SEEN" stamp. The documents were released to Fox News Digital amid an archives review related to the administration's use of an autopen and it is unclear which, if any, cards Biden actually used during events.
