Trump claims Biden's pardons void due to alleged autopen signatures

March 17 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump claimed Monday that preemptive pardons granted by former President Joe Biden to members of the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol are not valid because they were allegedly signed with an autopen.

In a post to his Truth Social account, Trump wrote that pardons issued by Biden to the committee, among others, "are hereby declared void, vacant, and of no further force or effect, because of the fact that they were done by autopen."
