Trump Declares Biden's Pardons 'VOID' - Autopen Scandal Rocks Washington!

President Trump launched a scathing attack on President Biden, declaring all of Biden's last-minute pardons "VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT." Trump's claim centers on the allegation that Biden used an autopen to sign the pardons, implying a lack of personal involvement and knowledge. He further asserted that the pardons were not "approved" by Biden and that those involved in their execution may have committed crimes. Trump specifically targeted members of the January 6th House select committee who received pardons, warning they would face "investigation at the highest level." The pardons included preemptive pardons for individuals like General Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci, both of whom have been frequent targets of Trump's criticism. Trump's outrage follows similar concerns raised by Missouri's Attorney General, Andrew Bailey, who suggested that numerous executive orders signed by Biden via autopen may be unconstitutional. The legal ramifications of Trump's claims and the potential for legal challenges to Biden's pardons remain uncertain.
