Trump Declares Biden's Pardons Invalid Over Autopen Allegations

President Trump claims that pardons issued by Joe Biden in his final days are void due to the use of an autopen, but legal experts question the validity of this argument.

  • Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that all pardons issued by Joe Biden using an autopen are 'void, vacant, and of no further force or effect.'
  • The pardons in question include preemptive clemency for January 6 Committee members, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and others.
  • Trump alleges that Biden was unaware of the autopen use and did not personally approve the pardons, though no evidence has been presented to support this claim.
  • Legal experts and past DOJ opinions suggest that autopen signatures are constitutionally valid and binding, casting doubt on Trump's argument.
  • The controversy highlights ongoing political tensions, with Trump suggesting investigations into individuals who received Biden's pardons.
