Trump Claims to Nullify Biden's Autopen-Signed Documents and Pardons
TL;DR
President Trump claimed that Biden's autopen-signed measures are invalid and could nullify his actions, but legal experts state that a president cannot rescind a predecessor's decisions through this method. Trump has criticized Biden's use of autopen, which Biden confirmed he used for late-stage pardons, but there is no legal basis for Trump's claims. The White House has not responded to whether Trump plans legal action.
