Biden Preemptively Pardons Fauci, Milley, Cheney and Other Members of Jan. 6 Panel

(Washington, D.C.) President Donald Trump has publicly vowed “retribution” on lawmakers like Liz Cheney who investigated the attack on the U.S. Capitol. Trump has said Cheney and other committee members should be put in jail.  Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, and others are believed to be facing investigations under the incoming Trump administration.

President Joe Biden on Monday pardoned Dr. Fauci, Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, to block potential “revenge” by the Trump Administration.  The move is unprecedented in presidential history.

“General Milley served our nation for more than 40 years, serving in multiple command and leadership posts and deploying to some of the most dangerous parts of the world to protect and defend democracy. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he guided our Armed Forces through complex global security threats and strengthened our existing alliances while forging new ones,” said a White House Statement.

“For more than half a century, Dr. Fauci served our country. He saved countless lives by managing the government’s response to pressing health crises, including HIV/AIDS, as well as the Ebola and Zika viruses. During his tenure as my Chief Medical Advisor, he helped the country tackle a once-in-a-century pandemic. The United States is safer and healthier because of him,” reads the Monday morning statement from the White House.

“Congress established the bipartisan Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol to investigate and report upon the facts, circumstances, and causes of the insurrection. The Select Committee fulfilled this mission with integrity and a commitment to discovering the truth. Rather than accept accountability, those who perpetrated the January 6th attack have taken every opportunity to undermine and intimidate those who participated in the Select Committee in an attempt to rewrite history, erase the stain of January 6th for partisan gain, and seek revenge, including by threatening criminal prosecutions,” says the statement.

“I am exercising my authority under the Constitution to pardon General Mark A. Milley, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the Members of Congress and staff who served on the Select Committee, and the U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee,” said Biden.
