I think you're mistaken, albaby. The evidence is simply that Biden told Zients et al. to decide who to pardon.

If you actually have any specific testimony from Biden or anyone else to the contrary, I'd be interested.My understanding is that the testimony provided to congressional investigators was that all the decisions were authorized by Biden - and it's certainly Biden's statement as well.
Biden has publicly disputed that, saying he made all decisions on clemency personally:
In an interview with The New York Times, Mr. Biden said that he had orally granted all the pardons and commutations issued at the end of his term, calling President Trump and other Republicans “liars” for claiming his aides had used an autopen to do so without his authorization.
“I made every decision,” Mr. Biden said in a phone interview on Thursday, asserting that he had his staff use an autopen replicating his signature on the clemency warrants because “we’re talking about a whole lot of people.”https://archive.is/Bgusp#selection-705.0-713.224There is not (again, AFAIK) any evidence to the contrary.
