Joe Biden pardons Dr Anthony Fauci to guard against Trump 'revenge'

"In short: Joe Biden has pardoned Dr Anthony Fauci, retired general Mark Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 attack on the Capitol.

"The decision by Biden comes after Donald Trump warned of an enemies list filled with those who have crossed him politically.

"What's next? President Biden has promised a smooth transition to the next administration."

....

"'The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgement that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offence,' Mr Biden said in a statement.

"'Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.'

"The decision by Biden comes after Donald Trump warned of an enemies list filled with those who have crossed him politically."               

...

"Mr Biden is also extending pardons to members and staff of the January 6 committee, including Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, both Republicans, as well as the US Capitol and DC Metropolitan police officers who testified before the committee."
