Summary

Republicans urging DOJ to ‘void’ pardons made via Biden’s autopen as the investigation into the autopen controversy involving former President Joe Biden intensifies. This week, Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote in a post on X that her "team is reviewing the Biden administration’s reported use of autopen for pardons." The Oversight Project at the Heritage Foundation has been analyzing thousands of pages of documents bearing President Biden’s signature, and they say they found that most were signed by the autopen, including pardons and at times when the President was not in Washington D.C.. FOX’s Ryan Schmelz speaks with Michael Howell, executive director of 'The Oversight Project', who explains what his team has found while reviewing the signed documents.
