“President Trump questioned the validity of pardons granted by President Joe Biden before he left office, signaling that the new administration could move to investigate those given legal immunity by his predecessor,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Any move to investigate or prosecute the individuals pardoned by Biden would mark a significant escalation of Trump’s defiance of longstanding legal norms.”
“Trump asserted early Monday morning in a social-media post that Biden’s pardons were ‘void, vacant, and of no further force of effect’ because they were signed with an autopen.”
