President Trump Says Documents Signed By Joe Biden Autopen Are “Void” – Includes Pardons, Executive Orders

President Trump announced on Truth Social that “any and all documents, proclamations, executive orders, memorandums, or contracts signed by Joe Biden’s autopen are “hereby null, void, and of no further force or effect.”

“Anyone receiving ‘Pardons,’ ‘Commutations,’ or any other Legal Document so signed, please be advised that said Document has been fully and completely terminated, and is of no Legal effect,” he added.

Fox News provided further info:

Over 160 executive orders were signed during the Biden administration.

Fox News Digital confirmed that the list of possibly voided pardons does not include former President Biden’s son Hunter, as that was signed by hand. The alleged autopen pardon list includes Dr. Anthony Fauci and brother James Biden.

Former President Biden signed a pardon last year for Hunter Biden’s offenses that he “has committed or may have committed” from Jan. 1, 2014, to Dec. 1, 2024.

Also on the list as part of a more than 1,500-person spree of pardons near the end of Biden’s term include Gen. Mark Milley and members and staff of the House committee investigating Jan. 6.

“If Autopen Pardons are repealed then prosecute Fauci for crimes against humanity,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) commented.

Newsweek shared:

Before leaving office in January, Biden issued several pardons — including for family members he said he wanted to shield from politically motivated investigations — and commuted sentences for a number of nonviolent drug offenders. Trump, known for his criticism of political rivals, has repeatedly seized on Biden’s use of the autopen to sign official documents during his presidency.

Trump has questioned Biden’s mental fitness and suggested that aides, rather than Biden himself, made key decisions. Biden and his former aides have rejected those claims, saying the president was fully engaged in governing.

On Friday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that he’s terminating all executive orders allegedly signed by Biden with an autopen, which the president said accounts for about 92 percent of the orders signed during Biden’s term.

Legal analysts disputed the validity of Trump’s claims, with Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan under the Barack Obama administration, telling Newsweek that autopen signatures are valid and the signing method is irrelevant to executive order legitimacy.
