Biden issues preemptive pardons to protect key figures

Joe Biden
In his final hours as US president, Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons for Gen. Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and others involved in investigating the January 6 Capitol attack.
The pardons shield recipients from potential retribution under Trump’s administration.
Biden emphasized the need to protect public servants from politically motivated prosecutions and threats.
These pardons, unprecedented in scope, aim to safeguard individuals who have faced intense criticism from Trump and his supporters.
