On his way out of the White House on Jan. 20, Joe Biden issued a preemptive pardon for, among others, his chief medical advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci. The week before, the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) took action that will help the nation recover from Dr.

Biden’s Fauci pardon was greeted by many in the vast and chaotic world of Covid suspicion as proof the scientist and retired public health official had been guilty of some poorly-defined crime all along. It also demonstrated how closely mainstream Republicans are aligned with the deepest reaches of the Covid conspiracy pool.

In addition to Fauci, Biden also granted pardons to General Mark Milley, the Members of Congress and staff who served on the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, and the US Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee.

The heads of the Jan. 6 committee say they're grateful for the decision by President Joe Biden to pardon them “not for breaking the law but for upholding it.”

President Biden preemptively pardons Dr. Anthony Fauci, former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, and retired Gen. Mark Milley to protect them from Trump inquiries.

High-profile Democrats warned against former President Biden issuing blanket, preemptive pardons ahead of Biden ultimately granting passes to Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, and members of his family at the 11th hour of his admin.

Outgoing President Joe Biden issued a slate of pardons Monday for people who may have been targets of President-elect Donald Trump's Justice Department.
