Trump cancels Biden's autopen executive orders in a move that spares Hunter's pardon

 November 29, 2025

Brace yourselves, patriots -- Donald Trump has just dropped a bombshell by revoking every single executive order signed by Joe Biden with an autopen, signaling a no-nonsense approach to what he sees as questionable governance, as the Daily Mail reports.

Trump's latest move, announced on Truth Social on a recent Friday, nullifies all 162 of Biden’s autopen-signed orders while pointedly sparing the hand-signed pardon of Hunter Biden, amidst swirling concerns over Biden’s mental sharpness and the murky process behind his administration’s decisions.

Let’s rewind a bit -- during his term, Biden, now 83, leaned heavily on the autopen, a signature-replicating device used by presidents of both parties, including Trump, for various documents.

Autopen Controversy Sparks Heated Debate

But Trump insists he only used it for trivial matters, arguing that critical actions like pardons should never bear a machine’s mark—a jab at Biden’s autopen approvals for high-profile figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci and General Mark Milley.

Among the most eyebrow-raising were Biden’s last-day pardons for family members, including James B. Biden and Sara Jones Biden, all reportedly signed via autopen without clear documentation of direct presidential intent.

Biden claims he personally green-lit every pardon and commutation, but skeptics, including a Republican-led House Oversight Committee, aren’t buying it, pointing to a process they describe as disturbingly lax.

GOP Report Slams Biden’s Clemency Process

The Committee’s recent report paints a damning picture, calling the Biden administration’s methods a chaotic “presidential pardon game of telephone,” with decisions often relayed through aides without formal records.

Take this for instance -- former White House chief of staff Jeff Zients admitted not all decisions were documented, and some last-minute family pardons were communicated second-hand through aides like Rosa Po.

Even more troubling, Zients authorized autopen use for clemency from home via an aide’s email, without confirming Biden’s explicit wishes, raising serious questions about accountability in those final days.

Trump’s Bold Move Draws Clear Lines

Enter Trump, who didn’t mince words on Truth Social, declaring, “I am hereby canceling all executive orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the autopen did so illegally.”

That’s a direct shot across the bow, and while the legality of revoking executive orders is clear, undoing granted clemency remains legally impossible -- a nuance that keeps Hunter Biden’s hand-signed pardon untouched.

Trump’s stance isn’t just rhetoric; he’s long criticized Biden’s cognitive decline, echoing concerns from many Americans who have watched the president’s public appearances with growing unease over who’s really calling the shots.

Justice Department Steps Into the Fray

Adding fuel to the fire, Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed her team is scrutinizing the autopen use for pardons, a review initiated in October to probe potential overreach or procedural flaws.

Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee’s push last month for the Justice Department to examine every Biden executive order underscores a broader conservative demand for transparency in a process they deem fundamentally broken.

As this saga unfolds, one thing is clear: Trump’s revocation of Biden’s autopen orders isn’t just a policy rollback -- it’s a loud statement against what many on the right see as a troubling erosion of presidential accountability, even if Hunter’s pardon remains a curious exception.
