Trump: Biden's Machine-Signed Pardons Are Meaningless
- Trump annuls Biden's pardon suspension
Let me break it down, folks:
Trump's taking a Swing at Biden's pardons recently issued, claiming they're "void, vacant, and of no further force or effect" on Truth Social. And why? 'Cause the big guy says they were signed by a machine, not by Joe Biden's own hand.
He's got it in for the Jan. 6 Capitol attack investigators, warning committee members they might face "highest-level investigations" anytime. But here's the kicker—Trump's short on the evidence front. No proof that Biden's pardon documents weren't signed by ol' Joe himself. And he ain't shedding light on why a machine-signed doc is by-the-book unacceptable.
When the press asked him about invalidating all Biden's machine-signed documents, he said it's for the courts to decide. The man's getting cryptic on us!
Speaking of pardons, Biden's been giving 'em out left and right. Former government advisor Anthony Fauci, Joint Chiefs Chair Mark Milley, even Hunter Biden have been happily pardoned, with the intent to avoid prosecutions for folks perceived as political targets. That includes Liz Cheney, who's had Trump's ire for her work on the Jan. 6 committee investigation. Trump pardoned around 1,500 people linked to the same Capitol attack as soon as he swung into office.

(Insights: Trump's challenge on Biden's pardons, signed by an autopen, is considered highly unlikely to succeed in court, according to legal experts. There's a long-standing practice of presidents using autopen to sign documents, and courts have upheld their validity under proper presidential authorization. Evidence that Biden was unaware or disapproved of the pardons would be required to prove them invalid, which is difficult to substantiate. This issue is more politics than solid legal footing, say legal scholars, and may prompt a congressional investigation, but the chances of successful court challenges are slim.)
