The Justice Department initially posted pardons online featuring identical copies of President Trump’s signature, later replacing them after a “technical error” was identified. The original copies showed striking similarities in the president’s signature across multiple pardons dated November 7th, confirmed by forensic document experts. The administration attributed the error to staffing and technical issues, despite Trump’s history of criticizing his predecessor’s use of an autopen. Legal experts maintain that the use of a signature, whether by hand or electronic, has no bearing on the validity of the pardons, as the intention of the president is the determining factor.
