Joe Biden Issues Preemptive Pardons To Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley And January 6th Committee Members

With just a few hours remaining in his presidency, Joe Biden preemptively pardoned Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley and members of the January 6th Committee and their staffs, amid concerns that they would be targets of investigation by the incoming administration.

Also being pardoned are staffers of the committee and U.S. Capitol and Metropolitan Police officers who testified.

“Our nation relies on dedicated, selfless public servants every day,” Biden said in a statement. “They are the lifeblood of our democracy. Yet alarmingly, public servants have been subjected to ongoing threats and intimidation for faithfully discharging their duties.”

More to come.
