President Donald Trump on Monday launched into a late-night meltdown on his social media platform that saw him promoting a conspiracy theory about former first lady Michelle Obama signing presidential pardons on former President Joe Biden’s behalf.The president turned up the dial on his typical Truth Social posting spree, making over 160 posts and reshares from 7 p.m. to nearly midnight on the East Coast.Among those, the president promoted a clip from far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who platformed what he called a “WILD” claim about Obama and Biden from Overstock.com founder Patrick Byrne.Byrne, a known conspiracy theory-pusher, claimed on a recent episode of Jones’ show that Obama used Biden’s “autopen” — the alleged use of which Trump has frequently attacked — to issue four to five pardons.“And then you’d love to see, who knows if they charged a million dollars a par — who knows how that — that’s so illegal! That is so illegal!” he said in the clip.Biden has previously dismissed talk of his “autopen,” telling media outlets in June that he made decisions about pardons, executive orders, legislation and proclamations during his administration.“Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false,” Biden said in a statement.President Donald Trump on Monday promoted a clip from far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who shared a "WILD" claim about former first lady Michelle Obama and former President Joe Biden on a recent episode of his show.Truth SocialOutside the Biden theory, Trump attacked former Attorney General Eric Holder, referred to Democratic veterans who urged troops to defy illegal orders as “a threat to America,” accused Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) of crimes against the country, and promoted a post calling Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) a “terrorist from a terrorist family.”In one post, he shared an apparently AI-generated video that depicts Elon Musk touching on Trump’s pledge to “immediately” strip temporary legal protections for Somali migrants living in Minnesota. The post arrives as Trump’s Treasury Department looks to investigate allegations that stolen taxpayer money in Minnesota has been funneled to a Somali terrorist group. There’s scant evidence to support such a claim, per The Minnesota Star Tribune.Elsewhere in his posting spree, Trump pushed other conspiracy theories, including one that Joe Biden’s former White House chief of staff, Jeff Zients, as well as Hunter Biden, were the “SECRET PARDON PUPPET MASTERS” in the administration.CORRECTION: This story has been amended to correct the name of the company Patrick Byrne founded.Close
