President Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that he is nullifying any documents signed by President Joe Biden using an autopen, including pardons and commutations.

In a social-media post, Trump wrote that �any and all Documents, Proclamations, Executive Orders, Memorandums, or Contracts� bearing an autopen signature during the Biden administration are �null, void, and of no further force or effect,� and that anyone who received a pardon or commutation from Biden should consider those documents �fully and completely terminated.�

Trump and some of his supporters have pushed claims suggesting that Biden�s use of the device made his actions illegitimate or that he was unaware of documents he was signing.

Before leaving office in January, Biden issued multiple pardons � including several for family members he believed were targets of politically motivated investigations � as well as commutations for certain non-violent drug offenders.

Legal experts note that Trump has no authority to retroactively void actions taken by Biden, and his statement carries no legal effect.
