Autopen - a regular tool, but a Trump attack line

Hindustan Times  

The legal basis for his argument appears uncertain, but Donald Trump has sought to drum up outrage over his predecessor Joe Biden's supposed use of autopen to sign presidential pardons and other documents. Autopen - a regular tool, but a Trump attack line Trump's attack on auto-signatures ignores that they have been used by previous presidents and that there is no evidence Biden even used the technology for signing pardons, which gave immunity to a string of Trump political opponents. Trump said on social media on Monday that Biden's pardons are void because Biden "did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!" "I am not afraid of Trump's latest midnight rant that has no basis in reality," Bennie Thompson, one lawmaker pardoned by Biden, said in a statement to Axios news.
