President Joe Biden has issued pardons for Gen. Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and members of Congress who served on the committee investigating January 6. The pardons, which come in the final hours of his presidency, come after President-elect Donald Trump vowed retribution for those he viewed as opposing his first presidency.
President Biden emphasized the importance of dedicated and selfless public servants in his statement, referring to them as the lifeblood of our democracy. He expressed concern over the ongoing threats and intimidation faced by public servants for faithfully carrying out their duties.
