Trump Declares Biden's Pardons Invalid Over Autopen Use

Legal experts question Trump's claims as he calls for investigations into those pardoned by Biden during his final hours in office.

Donald Trump announced that he considers Joe Biden's pardons void, alleging they were signed using an autopen without Biden's awareness.
Biden's pardons included family members, political allies, and January 6 Committee members, intended to shield them from potential politically motivated prosecutions.
Legal experts argue that autopen signatures are valid for presidential actions, though their application to pardons has not been extensively tested in courts.
Trump suggested that individuals involved in facilitating the pardons may have committed crimes and called for investigations into those pardoned.
The controversy raises broader questions about presidential authority, governance practices, and Biden's cognitive ability, though no formal legal actions have been initiated.
