The newly uncovered memos raise serious questions about President Biden’s direct involvement in the pardon process, with evidence suggesting that Vice President Harris often stepped in to make final determinations. The heavy reliance on an autopen and the lack of clear records of Biden’s presence at key clemency meetings only deepen doubts about his role. While Biden granted a historic number of pardons, the process behind many of them now appears irregular and potentially delegated. As investigations continue, the documents could intensify scrutiny over presidential authority and accountability in his final years in office.
