President Joe Biden has issued pre-emptive pardons for General Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci, members of the January 6 Congressional Committee, staff, and police officers who testified before the committee. In his statement, Biden emphasized that the issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment of wrongdoing, stating, 'These public servants have served our nation with honor and distinction and do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated actions.' The preemptive pardons are intended to protect these individuals from potential legal actions that may arise during the upcoming administration.
