Biden defended his use of autopen for pardons, asserting he made all decisions regarding clemency. He established categories for inmates, including nonviolent drug offenders and those sent to home confinement during the pandemic. Although he did not approve each name individually, he discussed high-profile cases, such as granting a pardon to Mark Milley. Biden criticized GOP claims about his ability to make decisions, affirming that he was actively involved in determining the strategy for pardons and dismissing accusations of incapacity.
I made every single one of those... I understand why Trump would think that, because obviously, I guess, he doesn't focus much.
Biden made clear... he discussed individual candidates for pardons in high-profile cases such as the pardon he granted to former Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley.
We know how vindictive Trump is... I told them I wanted to make sure he had a pardon because I knew exactly what Trump would do without any merit.
Biden attacked his successor and the Republican party for pushing claims that he was incapacitated and not the one calling the shots. They're liars, Biden said.
