  • 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. This move comes in response to Trump's threats to prosecute both individuals. Fauci, who has been a key figure in the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have been targets of Trump's criticism. The pardon aims to protect them from any politically motivated legal challenges. Biden's decision underscores his administration's commitment to safeguarding public servants from retribution, highlighting the ongoing political tensions and the use of presidential pardons as a protective measure.
