Donald Trump has criticized Joe Biden for using an autopen to sign pardons, even calling for them to be voided. However, experts now claim Trump himself used an autopen for a recent batch of pardons, prompting the Justice Department to update the documents.
Forensic experts noted identical signatures on pardons for Darryl Strawberry, Glen Casada, and Michael McMahon, which the Justice Department called a “technical error.” A White House spokesperson insisted Trump signed all pardons by hand, calling media coverage a “non-story” and redirecting focus to Biden’s autopen use.
