Doocy asks about the autopen pardons…
Fox News’ Peter Doocy held up copies of former President Joe Biden’s pardons during Tuesday’s press briefing, pressing White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on whether the Trump administration considers them valid.
Doocy noted the “very neat” autopen-style signatures on pardons issued to Biden’s family and members of the January 6 Committee—then pointed to one with a noticeably messier mark. Leavitt responded that the Trump administration is investigating who was truly calling the shots in the final days of Biden’s presidency.
“Most of the big [pardons] have the same, very neat signature. We would expect that probably to be the autopen. There is one that looks different, it looks authentic, in fact if you look at the last name it looks like the [former] president was having a hard time spelling his last name there. Is this White House of the opinion that the only pardon that would count is one that the president signed himself for Hunter Biden?”
“It’s very interesting props, if you want to bring them to my office later so I can take a closer look, I would like to do that,” Leavitt said. “[President Donald Trump] is making a good point when he discusses the usage of the autopen. Who was running the country for the past four years? Perhaps those documents were signed with the autopen. Something that I believe the Department of Justice is looking into, as you saw, Ed Martin made an announcement this morning to launch an investigation because the American people deserve answers.”
