President Biden's pardon protects Anthony Fauci, a longtime target of MAGA critics, from charges related to the contentious debate over origins of Covid or other issues.

Joe Biden has issued preemptive pardons to Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley and more just hours before Donald Trump's inauguration.

It was just moments before Joe Biden's presidential term ended when he announced pardons for his siblings and their spouses.

President Joe Biden announced a series of last-minute pardons on Sunday, granting clemency to five individuals, including a posthumous pardon for Marcus Garvey, the late civil rights leader and founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

In the final minutes of his presidency, Joe Biden pre-emptively pardoned several family members, including his brothers James and Frank Biden, and sister Valerie Biden Owens. Biden said the pardons were intended to shield his family from politically motivated attacks and should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment of any wrongdoing.

With just hours remaining, the retiring Democrat issued pardons for Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci and several people related to the Jan. 6 investigation.

In his final hours in office, Mr Biden cleared the names of a swathe of Trump critics to protect them from any potential ‘revenge’

President Biden issued pre-emptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci and others who may have faced scrutiny under the incoming Donald Trump administration.

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.

Preemptive pardons, like the ones Joe Biden issued in his final hours as president, have been used by Donald Trump, Jimmy Carter and other presidents.

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.
