Internal memos and emails from former President Joe Biden’s administration reveal that the former commander-in-chief may not have personally signed off on several pardons during his term. The internal communications suggest that an autopen, a device that replicates handwriting, was used in place of an actual signature.
Officials raised concerns that the former president was not directly involved with granting clemency to specific individuals, particularly those with violent criminal backgrounds. Questions about the legality of the signings also arose.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, President Donald Trump questioned Biden’s use of the autopen, suggesting that he was not actually in charge during his term and that actions using the device were “null and void.”
