Trump Declares Biden Pardons ‘Void, Vacant, and of no Further Force or Effect’ After Autopen Signature Bombshell
In a stunning Sunday night declaration, President Donald Trump announced he is nullifying the last-minute pardons issued by former President Joe Biden, claiming they were improperly executed using an autopen and possibly without Biden’s knowledge or consent.
“The Pardons that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs and many others are hereby declared VOID, VACANT AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT because of the fact that they were done by Autopen,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.
The controversial move specifically targets the nine members of the January 6 Committee, including former Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson and former Rep. Liz Cheney, who all received preemptive pardons from Biden during his final hours in office.
Trump further alleged that Biden “did not know anything about them” and suggested that those involved in preparing the pardons “may have committed a crime.”
He warned committee members they are now “subject to investigation at the highest level.”
“The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them,” Trump claimed in his social media post.
Biden’s eleventh-hour pardons extended beyond the January 6 Committee members to include Dr. Anthony Fauci and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, both frequent targets of Trump’s criticism.
Trump previously stated that Milley “deserves to be executed” and has repeatedly criticized Fauci over COVID-19 policies, the Daily Mail highlighted.
Many conservatives had already expressed outrage over Biden’s decision to pardon Fauci, whom they blame for strict pandemic restrictions including mask mandates and vaccine requirements that resulted in job losses.
Fauci also faces accusations of lying to Congress about U.S. funding for gain-of-function research at the Wuhan laboratory in China, where many believe the coronavirus originated.
