President Joe Biden grants pardons to key figures targeted for investigating the January 6th Capitol attack and challenging former President Trump's agenda.
President Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons Monday morning for Dr. Anthony Fauci , former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley and committee members that investigated the U.S. Capitol attack on January 6, 2021. The pardons came as a preemptive measure against potential future charges from a Republican-controlled Congress or a Trump administration if he were to be elected again.
Biden cited the relentless attacks and threats faced by Fauci, Milley, and the January 6th committee members, fueled by partisan politics. He emphasized that these individuals were targeted solely for their roles in upholding democratic norms and investigating the events of January 6th. The pardons extend to Dr. Fauci, who served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for nearly four decades, including during Trump's presidency. Fauci played a crucial role in coordinating the nation's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, often clashing with Trump's public health stances. Retired General Mark Milley, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, publicly criticized Trump's actions surrounding the January 6th insurrection and labeled him a fascist. Additionally, the pardons encompass members of the House Select Committee that investigated the January 6th attack. This committee, led by Rep. Bennie Thompson and Rep. Liz Cheney, concluded that Trump was criminally involved in a multi-part conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results and failed to act to stop the Capitol attack.Biden's pardons highlight the ongoing political tensions and the potential for retribution against those who have challenged Trump's agenda. These actions underscore the importance of protecting individuals who uphold democratic principles and investigate wrongdoing, even in the face of fierce opposition
