President Joe Biden issued historic preemptive pardons on Monday for former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, members of the House Jan. 6 committee, and others, granting them immunity ahead of President-elect Trump’s inauguration. Biden stated that these public servants, including General Mark Milley, Fauci, and the Jan. 6 committee members,
had faced unjust threats and potential prosecutions despite their dedicated service. He highlighted their contributions, including Milley’s leadership in global security and Fauci’s role in managing major health crises, emphasizing their service to the nation and the need to protect them from politically motivated actions.
