By Anna SkinnerShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberPresident Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday that he's terminating all executive orders allegedly signed by former President Joe Biden with an autopen, which the president said accounts for about 92 percent of the orders signed during Biden's term.
The announcement comes after Trump has previously ordered an investigation into Biden's alleged use of the autopen, which is a machine used to automate signatures on documents, which NPR reported was a longstanding practice in the White House.
"Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect," the president wrote on Friday afternoon. "The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States. The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling 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. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
Newsweek has reached out to the White House by email and filed a request on Biden's website for comment.
