Top Biden’s aide gave OK for the 11-hour autopaven, email reveals
In a recent report, it has been revealed that President Joe Biden’s Chief of Staff provided final approval for a series of notable preemptive pardons on Biden’s last day in office. This development sheds light on Biden’s ongoing concerns over the use of an autopen, which has been a point of contention during Donald Trump’s presidency. The pardons, which affected thousands of individuals, have raised questions about Biden’s awareness regarding the documents he was signing using automated devices.
On his final day, Biden signed numerous preemptive pardons, seemingly aiming to shield officials, like former chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, from potential backlash from Trump.
