President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that he “just heard” that all four of former President Joe Biden’s appointments to the Federal Reserve Board were approved by an “autopen,” suggesting they do not have the authority to serve in the role.President Trump offered no evidence for this claim, piggybacking on his repeated claim that all documents signed by his predecessor using an autopen are invalid.But he said he thought it was “something we would have to consider.” He also suggested the list of auto-signed appointees could include Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who has faced near-constant criticism from President Trump over…
