US President Donald Trump has claimed that 11th-hour pardons issued by former President Joe Biden are “void, vacant and of no further force or effect”. In a statement on his Truth Social platform, Trump argued that the pardons are invalid because Biden signed them with an autopen. This move is seen as a bid to potentially overturn over a century of law and practice surrounding presidential pardons. The Heritage Foundation had previously made similar claims based on similarities in signatures found on various documents linked to Biden. However, no evidence supporting Trump’s claim has been presented.
