President Trump on Friday declared any document signed by Joe Biden with an autopen is “hereby terminated and of no further force or effect.”
Trump also threatened Joe Biden with perjury charges.
“Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States,” President Trump said on Truth Social.
“The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump said.
Newly released internal emails confirm Joe Biden did not review the thousands of pardons granted at the end of his presidency.
The emails revealed that Biden’s staffers made decisions to sign the pardons with the autopen without directly hearing the orders from Joe Biden.
It was revealed that Joe Biden did not approve of each name for the pardons – AND after changes were made about the specific inmates, Biden did NOT sign off on the revised list. Rather, his aides just ran the final version through the autopen without Biden’s approval.
The White House Counsel’s Office is investigating the autopen scandal and is expected to review over 1 million documents.
The Oversight Project broke the story about the Biden autopen scandal wide open after they discovered thousands of acts of clemency and executive actions were signed with an autopen rather than a wet signature.
Earlier this year, the Oversight Project revealed six criminals were pardoned by Biden’s autopen on December 30, 2022, while Joe Biden was vacationing and golfing in St. Croix.
In March, the Oversight Project discovered there was a second frequently used autopen signature for Joe Biden’s pardons and commutations.
Autopen A and Autopen B have slight differences in the signatures.
WATCH:
In June, Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, revealed on Sean Hannity’s radio show that his team discovered a third Biden autopen.
This autopen signature was in use starting the first week of the Biden Presidency to sign proclamations.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent moves to ‘cut off’ illegal migrants from tax benefits, cross-border money transfers: ‘No place for you in our financial system’
The Trump administration is working toward cutting illegal migrants off from federal tax benefits and money transfer services, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Friday.
“At [President Trump’s] direction, we are working to cut off federal benefits to illegal aliens and preserve them for U.S. citizens,” Bessent wrote on X.
As part of the effort, the Treasury Department will propose new regulations “clarifying that the refunded portions of certain individual income tax benefits are no longer available to illegal and other non-qualified aliens, covering the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Additional Child Tax Credit, the American Opportunity Tax Credit, and the Saver’s Match Credit,” according to the the Trump administration official.
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) ostensibly prohibits illegal immigrants from obtaining most taxpayer-funded benefits.
However, in a February executive order barring illegal immigrants from access to federally funded benefits, Trump argued that in the decades since PRWORA’s passage, “numerous administrations have acted to undermine the principles and limitations directed by the Congress.”
Treasury aims to classify federal tax benefits as “federal public benefits” within the meaning of PRWORA in its proposed rule.
The department noted last week that the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel “recently issued an opinion adopting this interpretation.”
Treasury’s final regulations are expected to apply beginning in tax year 2026.
In a separate social media post, Bessent warned that illegal migrants “use our financial institutions to move their illicitly obtained funds.”
Describing that practice as “exploitation,” the Treasury secretary vowed: “It will end.”
“[President Trump] is right — if you’re here illegally, there’s no place for you in our financial system,” Bessent wrote.
The post came on the same day the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Bureau issued an alert to money services businesses — such as check cashers, remittance processors and digital payment processors — asking them to be “vigilant in identifying suspicious financial activity involving illegal aliens who present significant threats to national security and public safety.”
