TL;DR Summary

President Biden confirmed he personally approved all clemency decisions at the end of his term, asserting that he used an autopen to sign the warrants, countering claims by Republicans that his aides signed without his authorization and that he was incapacitated. Investigations by Trump allies and Congress are examining his mental acuity and the use of autopen in these decisions, with some former aides invoking the Fifth Amendment. The full scope of Biden's involvement may be revealed through emails and testimonies, amid ongoing political and legal scrutiny.
