Joe Biden: Grants pardons to public officials and congressmen threatened with prosecution by Trump

Taking preemptive measures against Trump’s vindictiveness, President Joe Biden preliminarily granted pardons to General Mark Milley, former chief of staff of the Armed Forces, Dr. Anthony Fauci, architect of the US’s Covid-19 response, members of his committee of Congress investigating the January 6, 2020 attack, unleashed by supporters of the president who is returning to the White House today, and witnesses who testified before this committee. “They do not deserve to be the target of unjust and politically motivated prosecutions,” said the outgoing US president. “I believe in the rule of law and I am confident that the robustness of our judicial system will ultimately prevail over political debate, but we live in extraordinary circumstances and I cannot, in good conscience, do nothing,” he said in a statement. “Disturbingly, public officials have been the target of threats and intimidation for the faithful performance of their duties. Some have even been threatened with legal proceedings.” Source: RES
