In a startling declaration on Friday, former US President Donald Trump announced that any documents signed by President Joe Biden using an autopen stand nullified. Trump claimed the vast majority of Biden's executive orders were not directly signed by him, attributing this to the use of an autopen, which mechanically replicates a signature.
Trump alleged that the autopen was used without proper authorization and threatened to prosecute President Biden on charges of perjury if it was claimed that the autopen usage was under Biden's direct orders. The embattled Republican also accused Biden's aides of taking control away from him.
In a separate announcement, Trump declared a permanent pause on migration from what he described as 'third-world countries,' citing national security concerns after a fatal shooting incident involving a migrant in Washington, DC.
