Kamala Caught In New Firestorm After Bombshell Pardon Memo Emerges

A groundbreaking new memo outlining the Biden administration’s pardon approval process appears to indicate that the frail president was passing off his responsibilities to former Vice President Kamala Harris.
The document, obtained by Just The News, further fuels theories that former President Joe Biden was not lucid or otherwise aware of pardons that were being signed using an autopen replicating his signature. Biden insisted earlier this year that he approved the broad contours of pardons but was not given the name of every individual who received one.
Aides to Biden believed it was critical to get his verbal sign-off before a pardon was signed using the autopen, the outlet states. In a shocking twist, Biden deferred to Harris when he claimed to be unable to review the circumstances of a pardon application.
The memo was contained in a batch of documents gathered by the Trump administration as it seeks to uncover who may have directed the use of the White House autopen during Biden’s final weeks in office. Officials have focused heavily on prominent pardons granted to Hunter Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney, and others who Biden claimed may have faced criminal prosecution when Trump returned to office.
It’s uncertain whether Biden attended four clemency meetings related to pardons, according to the memo. The meetings included discussions on preemptive pardons for members of Biden’s family and prisoners on federal death row.
The National Archives and Records Administration told the Trump administration it could not locate “specific meeting notes that clearly mention or note that the President was present” for the meetings, according to documents reviewed by Just The News.
