US EditionTrump's Justice Department examining pardons issued by Biden
- A senior official appointed during the Trump administration instructed the Justice Department's pardon attorney, Ed Martin, to examine clemency decisions made by President Biden in late 2024.
- The probe targets clemency granted to five Biden family members and the commutations of death sentences for 37 federal inmates.
- Questions emerged about Biden's competence and possible use of an autopen for signing pardons, amid broader scrutiny of his mental acuity and recent cancer diagnosis.
- Martin stated the investigation seeks to determine whether Biden was competent and if others exploited him via an autopen or other means, while Biden aides deny incapacity.
- The inquiry may amplify doubts about Biden's health but faces constitutional limits as presidential pardon power is plenary and autopen use has prior precedent.
