TechFlame reported that on Tuesday, Trump asked the Treasury Secretary to investigate whether former President Biden used an autopen to sign some of the appointment documents for Democratic members of the Federal Reserve Board. At a rally in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, Trump said, "I heard these appointments might have been signed by an autopen, maybe all four, maybe just a few. Let’s check two of them." He then turned to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who was present, and asked, "Scott, can you look into that for me?" Trump has previously questioned the validity of official documents signed by Biden using an autopen. An autopen is a mechanical device that can replicate a person’s signature and has been used by presidents from both parties for decades. Last week, Trump announced the revocation of some pardons and commutations signed by Biden in January, claiming these documents were signed with an autopen—a move legal experts say has no legal basis.
