Biden pardons Fauci

President Joe Biden pardons Dr. Anthony Fauci during final hours in office

In a final act of his presidency, Joe Biden has pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Biden used his extraordinary powers to shield them from potential “revenge” by the incoming Trump administration.

The decision follows warnings from Donald Trump about an enemies list targeting those who opposed him politically or held him accountable for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Trump has chosen Cabinet nominees who supported his election falsehoods and vowed to punish those involved in investigating him.
