Biden pardons Jan. 6 Chair Bennie Thompson in effort to guard against ‘revenge’ by Trump
SUMMARY: In his final hours in office, President Joe Biden pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, and members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 Capitol attack. The pardons aimed to protect these individuals from potential retaliation by the incoming Trump administration, which had signaled an intent to target political opponents. Biden’s decision, controversial and unprecedented in scope, also extended to U.S. Capitol police officers and others involved in the investigation. Biden emphasized that these actions were to prevent unjust prosecution rather than acknowledge guilt. The pardons sparked debate about presidential powers and future clemency practices.
