The autopen is being kicked to the curb. Anything that was signed by Joe Biden using the autopen is now being revoked by President Trump.
President Trump claimed Friday that he was repealing all documents signed by former President Joe Biden using an autopen — and threatened to have his predecessor “brought up on charges of perjury” if he asserts that staffers were acting on his orders when using the mechanical.
Trump, 79, has for months characterized Biden, 83, as AWOL during his four-year term and claimed that unelected aides were running the country without authorization.
“Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
We’ve asked time and again if Joe knew any details of what was signed on his behalf. But the Biden WH staff along with Jill and Hunter kept the wagons circled and lips zipped on what Joe did and didn’t know during his entire time in office.
Oh, it’s a given that he did know full well he was giving a massive blanket pardon to his son. But was he reminded of the fact that, months earlier, he stated he’d let the law play out and the chips fall where they may? Essentially saying he would NOT pardon his son. I’d say the answer is No, he didn’t, and B. Hunter and Jill sure as hell weren’t going to remind him of that.
But it’s the rest of the nearly 4500 pardons and all the Executive Orders that are a problem.
Did Joe know what he was signing? Did Joe know what he was talking about when he gave, if he did, the ok for the autopen to be used in his stead? Did Joe know his executive orders were harming the country? I doubt it. Even many on the White House staff had doubts.
