Former President Joe Biden, in an interview with the New York Times, said that he personally made every clemency and pardon decision during the end of his presidency.

Joe Biden said every pardon and commutation he issued was his decision, calling Republican "liars" for alleging his aides illegally used an autopen.

Former Biden White House communications director Kate Bedingfield praised the Biden administration's use of the autopen for mass pardons that were issued before the president left office. JOHN BERMAN,
