Remaining on the offensive despite former President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis, President Donald Trump went scorched earth on Truth Social, accusing the former president of acting illegally in allowing the use of a pardon in his name, signed with an autopen, to be used to cover for the members of the January 6 committee.
As background, President Biden pardoned, amongst many others, all the members of the January 6 Committee during his final days in office. It was then revealed by the Heritage Foundatioin that the pardon was signed not by the president’s hand but rather by an autopen, casting doubts on its validity. President Trump has since said he considers those pardons null and void as a result.
Beginning his Saturday, May 17, post about the autopen matter and using it to attack the 2020 election generally, Trump said, “Whoever had control of the “AUTOPEN” is looking to be a bigger and bigger scandal by the moment. It is a major part of the real crime, THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2020 WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN!”
Continuing, he alleged that the Democrats had done their best to cover up what had happened, saying, “Millions and millions of people knew that, but the Radical Left Democrats waged a campaign of inoculation and innocence like none that had ever been waged before.”
Getting to the point about Biden and the January 6 Committee having allegedly acted illegally, he said, “THIS IS WHY THE UNSELECT COMMITTEE OF POLITICAL THUGS, WHO WERE GIVEN A FULL AND COMPLETE PARDON BY THE PERSON WHO WIELDED THE NOW ILLEGALLY USED AUTOPEN, DELETED AND DESTROYED ALL EVIDENCE AND INFORMATION FROM THEIR CORRUPT AND VICIOUS WITCH HUNT AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE, WHOSE LIVES WERE COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND DESTROYED BY THIS HISTORICALLY CRIMINAL EVENT.”
Then, slamming James Comey, who recently called for the president’s assassination, Trump said, “Remember, it all began with DIRTY COP James Comey, Obama, a hapless and cognitively impaired Sleepy Joe Biden, and my now very famous ACCUSATION that,“THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!” Whoever had control of the Autopen is just the beginning.”
Concluding, the president declared that the fight was yet to kick into high gear, saying, “The biggest crime of all is that THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS RIGGED! I (MAGA!) WON THE ELECTION BY MILLIONS OF VOTES, AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. GOD BLESS AMERICA, FOR THE FIGHT HAS JUST BEGUN!!!”

Back in mid-March, President Trump said that he considers Biden’s pardons “null and void,” saying, “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.”
Continuing, he added, “In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!”
