Former President Biden defends use of autopen for pardons amid criticism and DOJ investigation.

Former President Joe Biden defended his use of an autopen to sign pardons and clemency actions, asserting he made all decisions personally despite criticism from Republicans and an ongoing DOJ investigation. The autopen was used to expedite the process for over 1,500 pardons and commutations, a record-breaking number. Critics argue the autopen's use undermines the integrity of the pardons, while Biden insists it did not diminish his role in the decision-making process.
