The President's pre-emptive pardons of key figures aim to protect against politically motivated prosecutions amid shifting power dynamics.
President Joe Biden made headlines today by preemptively pardoning various public officials, including key figures such as Anthony Fauci and members of the January 6 committee, in a move aimed at protecting them from what he termed "unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions.” In a statement, Biden emphasized that these individuals have shown exemplary commitment to public service, and the nation owes them gratitude for their efforts during tumultuous times.
With Donald Trump set to be inaugurated later today, tensions are palpable, as Trump has hinted at potential actions against those who held him to account for his supporters' attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
Biden also extended his pardoning to retired General Mark Milley, who has been vocal in his criticism of Trump, labeling him as "fascist to the core." The White House underscored that these pardons should not be viewed as admissions of guilt or acceptance of wrongdoing, but rather as measures taken to uphold the integrity of public servants who have put their lives on the line for the country.
