Media Literacy
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt refused to provide evidence when questioned about Trump's June 5, 2025 order directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Biden's alleged illegal use of autopen signature devices. Despite claiming this represents "the biggest political scandal in American history," neither Trump nor Leavitt offered proof that Biden was unaware of documents being signed, though a 2005 Justice Department memo confirms autopen use is completely legal for presidential documents as long as the president approves the content.

Why This Matters
🤥 Presidential conspiracy theories waste taxpayer resources investigating imaginary crimes
Trump orders DOJ investigation into legal autopen usage while claiming without evidence it represents "the biggest scandal in American history"—diverting law enforcement from actual crimes to pursue political vendettas against predecessors.
⚖️ Constitutional law doesn't require handwritten signatures for presidential powers
Justice Department memos from 2005 confirm autopen devices are legally valid for presidential documents including pardons and legislation, as long as presidents approve the content—making Trump's "void pardon" claims legally baseless.
📰 Press secretary stonewalls questions about evidence while making criminal accusations
Leavitt refuses to provide proof supporting claims that Biden staff illegally signed documents without his knowledge, while suggesting "criminal behavior" based solely on anonymous New York Post sources and political speculation.
🪞 Trump himself used autopen for "unimportant papers" while claiming Biden's usage was "disgraceful"
Presidential hypocrisy becomes obvious when Trump admits using autopen devices during his first term, then retroactively claims identical usage by his successor invalidates legal presidential actions and documents.
