Trump Renews Autopen Attack, Demands Arrests of Biden’s Cabinet

Overview

• On Saturday, Trump used Truth Social to call autopen use "totally illegal" and claimed anything signed that way has "no further force or effect."
• He alleged the device’s operator acted without written authorization and said "every one of them should be arrested" with a "big" price to pay.
• In November, he declared documents signed with Biden’s autopen "terminated" and of no effect, reviving that claim in his latest posts.
• Legal experts have pushed back, saying he has no authority to overturn a predecessor’s pardons on that basis.
• Coverage notes many presidents, including Trump, have used autopens, and PBS reported DOJ replaced online pardons that displayed identical Trump signatures after questions were raised.
