United States President Donald Trump announced his decision to reverse the pardon issued by his predecessor, Joe Biden, before leaving office. Trump said that the pardons were signed by autopen and claimed that they had been executed without Biden's knowledge.

Biden, in his final hours, had issued pardons to several individuals, including his family members - brothers James and Francis Biden, sister Valerie Biden Owens, and their spouses. Biden stated that his family had been "subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me - the worst kind of partisan politics."

"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. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

"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," he added.
