The tweet says one thing, but the article suggests something else. The New York Times had an interview with former President Joe Biden about the autopen fiasco, which has become the subject of a high-profile investigation at the Department of Justice. Was Joe cogent when he signed off on the pardons and commutations, which numbered in the thousands in the twilight of his failed presidency? Biden said he approved signing off on the clemency petitions, yet top aides admit they approved pardons writ large.
Emails on this matter are being reviewed. Some pardons are now legally questionable due to Biden’s mental state. It wouldn’t be shocking if some were signed with the autopen when the former president was physically at the White House. Now, ABC News says, “Former President Joe Biden, in an interview with The New York Times published Sunday, said that he personally made every clemency and pardon decision during the last few weeks of his presidency — including those made with an autopen.”
