Trump Declares Biden Pardons Void Over Autopen

President Donald Trump has declared that pardons issued by former President Joe Biden are void because they were signed with an autopen, a device that replicates signatures. Trump claims Biden was unaware of these pardons, which include preemptive ones for January 6 committee members and other adversaries. However, legal opinions suggest that autopen signatures are permissible; a 2005 Department of Justice ruling supports this, and legal experts like Alan Dershowitz note the Constitution doesn't specifically require a handwritten signature for pardons. Critics argue Trump's claims lack evidence and are politically motivated, with some pointing out the hypocrisy given Trump's own use of autopen for non-binding documents. While Trump suggests the matter might escalate to courts, it remains uncertain if any legal actions will support his claims.
