U.S. President Donald Trump has voided Joe Biden's last-minute pardons, claiming they were signed using an autopen without Biden's direct approval. Trump called the pardons “VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT,” alleging possible criminal misconduct by those involved. Biden had pardoned family members, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and January 6 committee members. Biden defended the move, stating his family faced partisan attacks. He also commuted 2,500 non-violent drug sentences. Trump's decision raises legal questions about presidential clemency powers.
