Former President Donald Trump recently declared on Truth Social that he would invalidate any documents signed by President Biden's autopen, deeming them null and legally ineffective.
• Trump announced that all documents, including proclamations, executive orders, and pardons signed by the autopen under Biden are canceled.
• He specifically mentioned that anyone who received pardons or commutations should be informed that these documents are no longer valid.
• Biden granted clemency to 4,245 individuals, raising concerns about the legality of those pardons and the competence of Biden in authorizing their issuance.
• There are ongoing investigations by the House Oversight Committee and the Department of Justice regarding the use of the autopen, especially if Biden was unaware of its application for critical documents such as pardons.
• Questions have arisen about whether Biden's aides regularly used the autopen without his specific knowledge, including on significant matters like pardoning his son Hunter Biden.
Trump's announcement raises legal questions and concerns regarding the authority behind Biden's signed documents, potentially impacting thousands of pardoned individuals and leading to further investigations.
