Trump said the pardons signed by Biden were illegal

US President Donald Trump claims that the pardons signed by his predecessor Joe Biden have no legal force. He wrote about this on March 17 on the Truth Social network.

"The pardons that sleepy Joe Biden granted <...> are declared invalid, without legal force and consequences, since they were signed by an automatic device reproducing the signature," Trump informed.

The Bloomberg news agency clarified that the right to pardon has long been considered one of the most absolute powers of the president. That is why the courts were unwilling to impose any restrictions.

"This is not my decision — it will be decided by the court — but I would say that they are insignificant. I'm sure Biden had no idea this was happening, and someone used a fountain pen to sign and pardon," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
