Washington D.C. - Former President Donald Trump has called for an inquiry into President Joe Biden's use of an autopen during his time in office. The autopen is a machine that replicates a person's signature, allowing for the automatic signing of numerous documents. While the use of autopens is a common practice, particularly for official correspondence and ceremonial documents, Trump has suggested potential impropriety, although he conceded he has no concrete evidence to support any illegal activity.
"We need to look into this autopen situation," Trump stated during a press conference earlier today. "It's very concerning, and the American people deserve to know the truth."
President Biden's administration has responded to the inquiry, dismissing it as a politically motivated distraction. "This is just another attempt to divert attention from the real issues facing the country," Biden stated in a brief statement. "We have more important things to focus on than baseless accusations."
Legal experts note that the use of an autopen is generally permissible, provided it is authorized and used appropriately. The key question is whether the autopen was used to sign documents that required a manual signature, or if it was used in a way that could be considered fraudulent. This inquiry is likely to face scrutiny from both sides of the political spectrum as the legal and ethical implications of the autopen use are examined.
