(ABC 6 News) — Earlier on Monday during the last hours of his presidency, Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons for the January 6 committee members.
Dr. Anthony Fauci and retired General Mark Milley were among a number of people included.
The move was unprecedented as pardoning people who have not even been investigated for crimes has not happened in recent presidential history.
Biden said in a statement that the pardons did not denote guilt. Trump called the actions disgraceful and said “many are guilty of major crimes.”
