President Donald Trump pardoned a pair of turkeys at the White House on Tuesday, going on to joke that former President Joe Biden's turkey pardons last year were "null and void" because he used an autopen.
Trump made the joke while carrying out the decades-long White House Thanksgiving tradition, this year pardoning "Gobble" and "Waddle." The crowd laughed as Trump said he saved last year's turkeys, "Peach" and "Blossom" from being carved up after the nullification of Biden's pardons.
"I wanted to make an important announcement. Because you remember last year, after a thorough and very rigorous investigation by [Attorney General] Pam Bondi and all of the people at Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA, and the White House Counsel's Office…I have determined that last year's turkey pardons are totally invalid," Trump said.
