Donald Trump seeks to declare void the presidential forgives of his predecessor, Joe Biden. “The pardons that Joe Biden the drows The US president wrote on the Truth Network.
Trump used the term Selfwhich in English designates a machine that reproduces the handwritten firm.
“In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them, and what is more important, I didn’t know anything about them!” He insists the message.
Some advisors close to Trump They have said before that he often writes his comments on the Truth network. And that it is usually detected when it is he who writes them for the liberal use of capital letters.
The same statement was made by Trump on Sunday on the presidential plane: “It is not my decision – that will depend on a court – but I would say that they are void full, because I am sure that Biden had no idea what was happening, and that there was someone who used the Self to sign and grant the forgives. ”
These comments arrive after the Heritage Foundation, a Think Tank right -wing and Trumpist, published a report On the use that Biden made of the signing machine in which it was ensured that “whoever controls” the device “controls the presidency.” Snopes data verification website denied this work in a length article in which he detailed the multiple ways in which the signatures of US presidents are part of the documents. Among them, the usual use of a model firm that, according to a national archive spokesman, officials use “to create the graphic image of all presidential documents published by the Federal Registry”.
Smithsonian magazine has documented that US presidents from Thomas Jefferson have used devices to sign documents with greater efficiency. Jefferson, third president of the country (1801-1809), used a polygraph, a device that was so useful that he himself recognized that he could not “live without him.”
The magazine also collects that Harry Truman was “the first president” to use the call Self after World War II, and “that supposedly [John F.] Kennedy also used it regularly. This use by the White House was a well -kept secret until the Gerald Ford government recognized it, ”he details.
Barack Obama, meanwhile, was involved in a controversy in 2011 when he signed an extension of the Patriot Act, the controversial National Security Law, with one of these machines. He also did it in 2013 to sanction a law of the Congress with which it was sought to avoid the so -called “fiscal cliff” due to the simultaneous entry of new expenditure chapters together with taxes.
“It is not clear if Trump has signed political laws or guidelines with a signing machine, but some Information They suggest that he did signed with the device some articles that he put on sale for his electoral campaign, ”according to Snopes.
There are also jurisprudential precedents that suggest that Trump was wrong to say that forgives, pardons and acts of clemency must sign the presidents personally.
The Department of Justice He raised in 1929 that “corresponds exclusively to the president to decide” the method by which forgiveness is granted. A Federal Court of Appeal He resolved Last year that presidential pardons do not even have to be in writing.
On January 20, on his last day in office, Biden granted preventive pardons to his relatives and all members of the Committee of the House of Representatives who investigated the attack with Dead to Congress of January 6, 2021, an event incited by Trump to try to turn his electoral defeat against Biden in the 2020 elections. In the committee there were two republican opponents of Trump, Trump Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Neither one nor the other are still in office.
In his message on the social network, Trump wrote, again without evidence: “The documents for forgiveness [que eran] Required were not explained to Biden, nor did he approved them. I didn’t know anything about them, and those who did have committed a crime. ”
The message continues with other assertions unfounded Of right -wing environments regarding the use of documents by the Committee: “Therefore, those who were in the non -special committee that destroyed and erased all the evidence obtained during their two years of witch hunt against me, and against many other innocent people, they should be fully aware that they are subject to investigation at the highest level.”
Some members of the January 6 committee declared not wanting the forgiveness of Biden and stressed that they had not done anything wrong.
Bennie Thompson, Mississipi Democrat and president of the Committee, declared Axios: “I am not afraid of Trump’s last midnight invective, which has no real basis.”
Kinzinger wrote: “Please! You have threatening with this always! Dare, I get bored of waiting. ”
This does not mean that there are still strong fears of a revenge in form investigations and prosecutions, given that the Trump government has in the point of view to government lawyers who investigated it in its two criminal proceedings in the federal order, as well as lawyers of the private sector with links with the Democrats.
Other benefited by the preventive pardons of Biden were Anthony Fauci, the public health advisor who acquired notoriety during the COVID, and Mark Milley, a retired general and former head of the Joint Chiefs fears that the president wants to avenge.
