Trump says he's invalidating some Biden pardons, claiming power he doesn't have

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% : In the years that followed, discussion about the use of autopens has largely evaporated, though late last week, it apparently made a comeback: During remarks at the Justice Department on Friday, Donald Trump questioned Joe Biden's use of the tool, saying that measures signed by his Democratic predecessor might not be "valid.
34% : To be sure, there's often a disconnect between what Trump says he's doing and what he's actually doing.
33% : In other words, as the United States deals with a sustained offensive against the rule of law, Trump has made up a new power for himself that does not exist.
32% : But if Trump seriously takes steps to undo Biden's pardons, because he feels like it, the coming fight will be dramatic.
26% : The bottom line, however, is relatively straightforward: Trump claims that Biden didn't actually sign pardons for members of the bipartisan House Jan. 6 committee, so as far as the Republican is concerned, prosecutors are free to go after them, despite the fact that there's literally no evidence that they did anything wrong.
15% : Shortly after midnight, Trump went considerably further, claiming he was invalidating at least some of Biden's parsons.
13% : Donald Trump doesn't have the authority to invalidate Joe Biden's pardons.
