President makes unsubstantiated claims against his old rival, whom he claims knew nothing of some papers
Donald Trump claims Joe Biden used an autopen to sign pardons, including Hunter Biden's, and declares them void. He bases this on a study from the Heritage Foundation and argues that autopen use invalidates presidential actions. An autopen is a machine that automatically reproduces a signature, often used for signing numerous documents. Legal precedent suggests that presidential pardons do not require personal signatures and that presidential pardons don’t even need to be documented in writing. Autopens have been generally used by presidents for decades.
