Final hours of the Biden presidency saw a unique number of pardons of close associates and family members
Former president Joe Biden engaged in a round of pardoning close associates during his final hours in office. In addition to Fauci, he pardoned members of the January 6th committee and Gen. Mark Miley.
Having previously pardoned Hunter Biden, who had been recently convicted of firearm possession and drug related offenses; this morning Joe Biden pardoned all the other members of his family.
There is no indication that incoming president Donald J. Trump intended to prosecute anyone now pardoned by Biden.
"If there was ever any doubt as to who bears responsibility for the COVID pandemic, Biden’s pardon of Fauci forever seals the deal. As Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, I will not rest until the entire truth of the coverup is exposed," Paul wrote on X. "Fauci’s pardon will only serve as an accelerant to pierce the veil of deception."
Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., said: "Joe Biden just issued preemptive pardons for Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, and Members of Congress and staff of the sham J6 Committee. In its final hours, the most CORRUPT Administration in American history is covering up Democrats’ trail of criminal activity."
Recent discussions about Anthony Fauci are largely driven by his involvement in the COVID-19 response, his retirement, and ongoing political scrutiny.
Dr. Fauci retired from his positions at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and as Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden in December 2022, after a long career spanning multiple health crises.
There has been significant political debate and investigation into Fauci's role in the origins of the COVID-19 virus, particularly around the funding of gain-of-function research, with hearings and testimonies in 2024 highlighting these issues.
Americans reflect a polarized view, with some users calling for accountability or prosecution of Fauci, while others defend his contributions to public health, especially during the AIDS and COVID-19 pandemics.
