Former President Trump argued that pardons issued by President Biden for members of the January 6 committee using an autopen are invalid. He claimed that these pardons were "VOID" because they were not properly approved by Biden. Despite Trump's assertions, historical precedent shows that previous presidents have used autopen signatures, and legal experts question whether a current president can revoke a predecessor's clemency. Trump's claim comes amidst ongoing tensions with the January 6 committee, which he has previously threatened.
Trump claimed that Biden's pardons for committee members, executed via autopen, are "VOID" and asserted these clemencies lack validity due to Biden's inattention.
Experts doubt a president could revoke former pardons legally, citing historical use of autopen by past presidents.
Trump's late-night post declares Biden's pardons "hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT,” claiming improper execution.
Biden’s historic preemptive pardons for January 6 committee members provoke Trump, who threatens high-level investigations into them.
