In an unprecedented move, the outgoing President of the US, Joe Biden, issued pre-emptive pardons on January 20 for Dr Anthony Fauci, retired General Mark Milley, and members of the January 6 Capitol Riot Committee. The pardons aim to protect these individuals from "politically motivated prosecutions" after Biden leaves office later today. Fauci, who led the US COVID-19 response, and Milley, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, faced significant political scrutiny, particularly from the then-former President Donald Trump and his allies. Biden, in a press statement, expressed that the pardons were essential to shield these public servants from "unjustified" legal actions and acknowledged their distinguished service to the nation. US President-Elect Donald Trump Says ‘Very Soon We Will Begin the Largest Deportation Exercise in American History’ Hours Before Inauguration at MAGA Rally.
