Trump Challenges Biden's Pardons Signed with Autopen; Legal Experts Dismiss Allegations

In the latest development, Trump has declared Biden's end-of-presidency pardons invalid, alleging that they were authorized by an autopen. These pardons shielded Jan 6 committee members, Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley, and Biden family members from potential prosecution risks. The significance of this lies in legal experts refuting Trump's assertions. They refer to a 2005 Department of Justice opinion and a 2024 federal court decision, emphasizing that pardons remain legally binding even if signed with an autopen and do not necessitate written documentation.
