Trump announced on Friday that he will be terminating all documents allegedly signed by Biden via autopen -"The staff secretary clearly had concerns about this and was aware of it and wasn't sure that Biden was actually issuing these orders," he continued. "And so, you know, the pardon is a power of the president himself. And to have pardons signed by autopen when the people running the autopen weren't even sure the president had agreed to pardon somebody, that's pretty bad stuff." --Closing out the segment, McEnany added that the Department of Justice (DOJ) also questioned the clemency process under the Biden administration, which set a presidential record for the largest number of pardons and commutations granted to individuals. A person familiar with the clemency process told Axios that after Biden pardoned his son Hunter on Dec. 1, 2024, "there was a mad dash to find groups of people that he could then pardon — and then they largely didn't run it by the Justice Department to vet them." --In September, the outlet reported that several senior Justice Department officials raised concerns with the White House counsel's office regarding the process to pardon individuals. Additionally, senior Biden White House officials pushed back internally on requests to use the autopen, according to Axios, which cited emails it obtained. It said Biden White House staff secretary Stef Feldman repeatedly asked for more information and confirmation of Biden’s intentions with the autopen. --
