President Trump claims last-minute pardons signed by former President Biden are « void » because they were signed with an autopen. Shortly before leaving office, Biden pardoned his own family members, members of the Jan. 6 House Select Committee, and others perceived as Trump’s political enemies. A branch of the Heritage Foundation, the think tank behind Project 2025, has since claimed the documents were signed with an autopen—essentially a robotic arm used to replicate handwritten signatures. It’s not clear whether an autopen was, in fact, used. But it wouldn’t be so unusual. Presidents have used autopens for more than 70 years, reports CBS News.
