Trump declared Sunday that many of former President Joe Biden's pardons are "VOID" due to unverified claims that he used an autopen to sign them.
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), who was one of only two Republicans on the Jan. 6 committee that investigated President Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, is daring Trump to criminally charge him — as a recent rant suggested he might.
Kinzinger was among many people former President Joe Biden pardoned before leaving office in January, but following a report earlier this month from a right-wing group alleging the pardons were signed by an autopen, Trump declared Sunday they were “VOID.”
Kinzinger, a frequent critic of Trump’s, dared him Monday on CNN to take the next step.
