"Void and vacant": Trump says Biden pardons are nullified
SalonPresident Donald Trump has been itching to get back at lawmakers who investigated his actions on Jan. 6 and he's willing to tear down the concept of presidential pardons to get it done. On Sunday night, Trump declared last-minute pardons of members of the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack issued by former President Joe Biden to be "void, vacant and of no further force of effect" in a post to Truth Social. "The 'Pardons' that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen," Trump wrote. Related Why Trump just unleashed homegrown criminals on America Biden pardoned former White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci, former Trump administration official turned critic Gen. Mark Milley and the members of the House's Jan. 6 committee. Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said Trump was "begging the question" on whether Biden was "cognitively impaired," never looking directly at the fact that Trump was attempting to overturn pardons.
