  A post has gone viral accusing the President of using an autopen to sign pardons, after Trump declared Biden's pardons "void" for the same reason.


The article from Newsweek discusses a claim that former President Donald Trump used an autopen to sign clemency documents for January 6 defendants. The fact-checking process revealed that while Trump did use an autopen for some official documents during his presidency, there is no conclusive evidence that he used it specifically for the clemency documents related to January 6 defendants. The article notes that Trump's use of the autopen was confirmed for other purposes, like signing condolence letters and official correspondence, but the specific use for these pardons remains unverified. Furthermore, the article mentions that Trump's former White House Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, had previously stated that Trump did not use an autopen for official acts, although this was contradicted by other reports. The overall conclusion is that while it's plausible Trump could have used an autopen, there is no definitive proof regarding the January 6 clemency documents.
