Trump Moves to Void Documents Signed by Biden via Autopen
President Donald Trump announced on Friday he will void all documents allegedly signed by President Joe Biden using an autopen device. Trump claimed in a Truth Social post that 92% of Biden’s documents during his presidency were signed this way.
Trump argued the autopen cannot be used without direct approval from the sitting president. He accused Biden’s team of effectively stripping the president of authority, stating, "The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him."
The autopen is a machine used to replicate a president’s signature for documents. Its use requires explicit presidential permission to be lawful, which Trump contends was not granted in Biden’s case.
Trump declared he is canceling all executive orders and other documents not personally signed by Biden. "Anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden" will be considered invalid, according to Trump.
In addition, Trump threatened to prosecute Biden for perjury if the former president denies involvement in the autopen signing process. However, it remains unclear which authority could validate or rescind the signatures currently under dispute.
Experts note that the autopen has been used by presidents to manage paperwork efficiently, especially for routine or non-controversial documents. The legality hinges on whether the president authorizes each use.
This latest development intensifies political tensions ahead of upcoming election cycles. The dispute raises questions about presidential authority and the administrative processes in the executive branch.
Investigations into the use of autopen signatures in Biden’s administration may follow depending on political and legal reviews. Meanwhile, the White House has not issued a formal response to Trump’s claims.
This story remains fluid as more information is expected to emerge. Readers are advised to monitor updates from reliable news sources for further clarification on this evolving issue.
