President Joe Biden pardoned former White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci for all crimes that he may have committed as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Joe Biden has issued preemptive pardons to Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley and more just hours before Donald Trump's inauguration.

In the final minutes of his presidency, Joe Biden pre-emptively pardoned several family members, including his brothers James and Frank Biden, and sister Valerie Biden Owens. Biden said the pardons were intended to shield his family from politically motivated attacks and should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment of any wrongdoing.

Former President Joe Biden said he was “concerned” about Donald Trump giving preemptive pardons of family members, according to a resurfaced interview from 2020.

The decision comes after Trump warned of an enemies list of those who have crossed him politically or sought to hold him accountable for his attempt to overturn his 2020 election loss.

It was just moments before Joe Biden's presidential term ended when he announced pardons for his siblings and their spouses.

President Biden issued pre-emptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci and others who may have faced scrutiny under the incoming Donald Trump administration.

Before leaving office this week, now-former President Biden issued preemptive pardons to potential targets of the new Trump administration, including Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and lawmakers who served on the House Jan.

On his way out of the White House on Jan. 20, Joe Biden issued a preemptive pardon for, among others, his chief medical advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci. The week before, the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) took action that will help the nation recover from Dr.

Biden’s Fauci pardon was greeted by many in the vast and chaotic world of Covid suspicion as proof the scientist and retired public health official had been guilty of some poorly-defined crime all along. It also demonstrated how closely mainstream Republicans are aligned with the deepest reaches of the Covid conspiracy pool.

Preemptive pardons, like the ones Joe Biden issued in his final hours as president, have been used by Donald Trump, Jimmy Carter and other presidents.
