Trump DOJ investigating Biden-era pardons amid concerns over state of mind

President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is currently conducting a review of the pardons granted by former President Joe Biden. This review comes amid concerns regarding Biden’s use of an AutoPen to automatically sign documents, as well as questions surrounding his mental state during his final months in office.

According to sources at Fox News, Justice Department Pardon Attorney Ed Martin is leading the review of Biden-era pardons that were issued in the final weeks of his presidency. While the specific pardons under review have not been disclosed, reports suggest that the review will include preemptive pardons granted to Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, as well as over 35 death row inmates whose sentences were commuted to life in prison.

The Department of Justice has not provided any official comments regarding the review, leaving many to speculate about the scope and implications of the investigation.

Critics of Biden’s clemency decisions have raised concerns about the large number of pardons issued during his final days in office. Some have criticized the inclusion of individuals convicted of defrauding the government of millions of dollars, as well as the use of preemptive pardons for close associates of the former president.

This review adds another layer of scrutiny to Biden’s legacy, as questions continue to swirl about the transparency and integrity of his administration’s actions. As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen how these pardons will be viewed in the context of Biden’s overall record.
