The pardons by Biden came as incoming President Trump has repeatedly attacked Fauci, Milley and the Jan. 6 committee and called for prosecution of his enemies.
President Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci , Gen. Mark Milley and members of Congress who investigated the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Biden also said he is pardoning staff who served on the House Jan. 6 select committee and the police officers who testified before it. "I believe in the rule of law, and I am optimistic that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics. But these are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing," he said.
Biden's statement stressed that the pardons "should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense."
