(NewsNation) — High-ranking officials in President Joe Biden’s administration questioned whether he was aware of who he was pardoning as well as whether he had approved the clemency grants during his last days in office.

Emails obtained by NewsNation from a Trump administration investigation showed several scenarios in which Biden White House officials questioned whether his actions were autonomous.

In one case, the use of autopen on pardons was called into question, according to the documents.

Biden is said to have approved the use of an autopen for pardons for his family members on the last night of his presidency, according to the documents. Pardons were for his brother James Biden, sister-in-law Sara Biden, sister Valerie Biden, brother-in-law John Owens and brother Francis Biden.
