31% : Asked whether these pardons will hold, Trump said in a gaggle aboard Air Force One, "It's not my decision, that'll be up to a court.
13% : To reporters late Sunday evening and again on social media later, Trump claimed that these pardons are null because of Biden had used an autopen rather than sign by hand.
