Trump Claims Authority To Overturn Certain Biden Pardons, Despite Lacking Legal Power - The Union Journal

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

39% : In essence, as the United States grapples with a persistent assault on the rule of law, Trump has concocted a new authority for himself that simply does not exist.
36% : During a speech at the Justice Department on Friday, Donald Trump challenged Joe Biden's use of the mechanism, suggesting that measures enacted by his Democratic predecessor may not be "valid." Just two days later, the Republican incumbent shared a post on his social media platform, hinting that it was the autopen, rather than Biden himself, who effectively presided over the country for four years.
21% : Nevertheless, if Trump genuinely attempts to dismantle Biden's pardons on a whim, the ensuing conflict will undoubtedly be significant.
20% : The crux, however, is relatively clear: Trump asserts that Biden did not personally sign pardons for members of the bipartisan House Jan. 6 committee, so, in Trump's view, prosecutors are free to pursue them, despite the glaring absence of any evidence suggesting they did anything wrong.
13% : Shortly after midnight, Trump escalated his claims, asserting he was nullifying some of Biden's pardons.
