Trump D.C. Attorney Seriously Eyeing Biden Pardon Conspiracy

FISHING EXPEDITION

Updated 04.02.25 2:59AM EDT /


A Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in D.C. has been quietly questioning former President Joe Biden’s family and his former White House officials over pardons issued in the final days of his term. After the Biden “autopen” conspiracy began gaining ground and questions of Biden’s mental capacity swirled in MAGA circles, Ed Martin, a diehard Trump supporter, sent letters two months ago to Biden’s White House aides and recipients of his pardons, according to three sources who spoke to The New York Times and a copy of a letter obtained by the publication. Recipients of the letters reportedly included Jeffrey Zients, Biden’s former chief of staff, and the former president’s relatives, James Biden and Sara Biden. Though the letters are voluntary requests for information regarding Biden’s competency, Martin could possibly move toward a more formal investigation. A former Biden White House official said Biden “made the decisions about the pardons he issued. Any suggestion to the contrary is false and absurd.” The Trump White House did not respond to the Times’ request for comment, while Martin’s office declined. President Donald Trump earlier cast doubt on Biden’s last-minute pardons, claiming that they were “void” and “vacant” in a late-night Truth Social meltdown. “The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime,” Trump said without providing evidence.

However, that said, TSF will force the Biden family to incur steep legal fees to avoid convictions -- and they won't be able to dip into political contributions for payment like TSF.

By The 4th of July, they will have found some grand jury to indict some former Biden Administration official or currently serving Democrat legislator with some nonsensical felony that is absurd and false on its face. They told us they were going to do this for over two years, so you better believe them.

At least the voters in Missouri could see through Martin and his foolishness to reject him twice for elected office in Primaries.
