Biden preemptively pardons Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley and Jan. 6 committee members

With just hours left of his presidency, Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House Jan. 6 committee.
President Joe Biden has preemptively pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci and Gen. Mark Milley in anticipation of potential legal actions by former President Donald Trump if he were to return to office.

The pardon aims to protect them from any politically motivated legal challenges.
