Trump Says Biden’s Pardons Are Void Due To Use of Autopen

President Trump has said that the last-minute pardon’s issued by former President Joe Biden for members of the January 6th committee are void because he signed them with “autopen” – a device which reproduces a person’s signature – rather than by hand.
“The ‘Pardons’ that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen,” Trump claimed in a Truth Social post.
“In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime,” Trump added.
The president continued in his post, “Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!”
Trump’s claims followed a report last week from the Heritage Foundation—which crafted the policy blueprint Project 2025—raising questions about pardons signed by Biden while he was on vacation.
