Biden Grants Pardons to Cheney, Fauci, and Others
President Joe Biden issued last-minute pardons to figures like Liz Cheney, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, and members of the January 6 Committee, reportedly to shield them from potential legal action under Donald Trump’s administration.
Pardons Don’t Block Testimony
Legal experts noted the pardons remove the right to plead the Fifth, meaning those pardoned must still testify if subpoenaed—and can still face perjury charges if they lie.
Pardon Limits Raise Questions
Critics pointed out the pardons only cover past actions, not future charges like treason, with some referencing Milley’s controversial communications with China during Trump’s term.
Trump Slams Move as Political Shield
Donald Trump condemned the pardons as an attempt to protect political allies and suppress evidence, accusing Biden of shielding those who targeted his presidency.
