Trump just dropped a Truth Social post saying he's canceling anything Biden signed with an autopen machine, which he claims was like 92% of his documents. He's calling the whole thing illegal and says Biden's staff ran the show without proper authorization while the old guy was out of it.
The thing is, legal experts have been clear for years that autopen signatures are totally legit as long as the president actually approved them. The Justice Department under Bush even wrote that presidents don't have to physically sign stuff themselves. House Republicans looked into Biden's autopen use earlier and found documents were authorized, though they suggested Biden wasn't always in the loop with certain staffers.
Trump's threatening perjury charges if Biden claims he was personally involved in the signing process, and he's already scrapped a bunch of Biden's executive orders and questioned some pardons. House Oversight Chairman James Comer is backing the move, saying Biden's inner circle tried to hide his decline.
