US EditionTrump Declares Documents Signed by ‘Autopen’ Under Biden Are Terminated; Threatens Ex-President with ‘Perjury’ Charges
Trump claims 92% of Biden's executive orders were autopen-signed and cancels them, threatening perjury charges if Biden denies involvement.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that any document signed by former President Joe Biden with the autopen, about 92%, is terminated and void.
- Amid GOP concerns about Biden's age, House Republicans argued his alleged cognitive decline led aides to rely on the autopen, prompting investigations by the House Oversight Committee and Chairman James Comer .
- The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel found autopen use can be lawful, noting historical autopen usage and that courts have not invalidated such signatures, while former President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump also used autopens.
- Trump also threatened to charge Biden with perjury if he claims autopen authorization, and the move could void pardons and executive actions, prompting immediate legal fights involving federal agencies.
- The declaration fits a broader pattern as legal experts and commentators dismissed it as constitutionally dubious, predicting court battles that would almost certainly reach the Supreme Court.
