President Donald Trump has escalated his attacks on Joe Biden by declaring that nearly all of his predecessor's executive orders signed with an autopen are invalid. In a fiery Truth Social post, Trump said that '92% of them' would be cancelled, adding that any document signed with the device was 'hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect'.

The statement, delivered in Trump's trademark style, accused Biden of illegally delegating presidential authority. He claimed that Biden was not involved in the autopen process and threatened that if the former president denied it, he would be charged with perjury. The remarks have reignited debate over the use of autopen technology, which mechanically reproduces a president's signature on official documents.
