From Fox News: President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is reviewing the list of people that were granted pardons by former President Joe Biden, amid new concerns about his use of an AutoPen to automatically sign documents, as well as concerns about his state of mind in his final months in office.
Fox News was told Tuesday that Justice Department Pardon Attorney Ed Martin is reviewing a list of Biden-era pardons granted by the president during his final weeks in office.
It is unclear what individual pardons are being reviewed by Martin’s office, though Reuters reported this week that the office is planning to look at the preemptive pardons that Biden granted to his son, Hunter Biden, as well as more than 35 death row inmates whose sentences were changed to life in prison during Biden’s final days in office.
Reuters shared the following:
Just before he relinquished the presidency to Trump on January 20, Biden pardoned five members of his family, saying he wanted to protect them from future politically motivated investigations. The pardons went to Biden’s siblings James Biden, Frank Biden and Valerie Biden Owens as well as their spouses, John Owens and Sara Biden. Biden on December 1 pardoned his son Hunter Biden, who had pleaded guilty to tax violations and was convicted on firearms-related charges.
Martin’s email did not specify which pardons of Biden family members were being investigated. It also did not make clear who directed Martin to launch the investigation.
Martin weighed in on the issue during a recent interview with podcast host Glenn Beck. WATCH BELOW:

Rep. Tm Burchett (R-Tenn.) suggested last month that Biden’s ‘autopen staffers’ potentially may have been taking payoffs in exchange for pardons.

The fact that the Biden Admin had unelected bureaucrats using the auto pen without authorization or oversight to sign a whole host of orders and pardons is a much bigger scandal than many of you even realize.

Tuesday morning, Burchett doubled down, writing, “I hope @realDonaldTrump reviews all of Biden’s pardons immediately.”
