Trump Declares Biden's Pardons Invalid Over Signature Dispute

President Trump claims, without evidence, that pardons issued by Biden were signed using an autopen and are therefore void.

  • President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he is invalidating pardons issued by former President Joe Biden, alleging they were signed with an autopen instead of personally by Biden.
  • The pardons in question include high-profile figures such as Hunter Biden, Anthony Fauci, and Liz Cheney, who were granted clemency to shield them from potential politically motivated prosecutions.
  • Trump provided no evidence to support his claim about the use of an autopen and acknowledged that the validity of such signatures would ultimately need to be determined by the courts.
  • Biden's pardons were issued in January 2021, shortly before the end of his presidency, and were aimed at protecting critics of Trump from possible retribution.
  • Trump's announcement follows his previous campaign rhetoric promising investigations and legal actions against political opponents.
