Biden chose a date nearly six years before the first cases of SARS-CoV-2 were identified, adding an unexpected layer of intrigue to the act of clemency.

The heads of the Jan. 6 committee say they're grateful for the decision by President Joe Biden to pardon them “not for breaking the law but for upholding it.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci helped coordinate the nation’s response to the COVID pandemic. He has never been charged with a crime, yet received a “full and unconditional” pardon back to Jan. 1, 2014.

President Biden's pardon protects Anthony Fauci, a longtime target of MAGA critics, from charges related to the contentious debate over origins of Covid or other issues.

With just hours left of his presidency, Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House Jan. 6 committee.

President Biden on Monday pardoned Anthony Fauci, MD, using the extraordinary powers of his office in his final hours to guard against potential "revenge" by the incoming Trump administration. The decision comes after Donald Trump warned of an enemies list filled with those who have crossed him politically or sought to hold him accountable for his attempt to overturn his 2020 election loss and his role in the storming of the U.

Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Monday that he is "grateful" for President Biden's preemptive pardon but insisted there is no grounds for any allegations or prosecution.

The pardons by Biden came as incoming President Trump has repeatedly attacked Fauci, Milley and the Jan. 6 committee and called for prosecution of his enemies.

President Joe Biden issued a slew of pardons on Inauguration Day to preemptively protect people President-elect Donald Trump had threatened.

President Biden has issued a preemptive pardon to Anthony Fauci, Joint Chiefs of Staff of Mark Milley and members of the Congressional committee that investigated the Jan. 6th attack on the Capitol. Fauci was the director of the National Insitute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases during the Covid pandemic.

Biden made it clear that his decision to preemptively pardon these individuals was no indication of any guilt on their part
