Trump commuted the sentence of local Volusia County Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs, who was serving 17 years for his role in Capitol riot.

In addition to Fauci, Biden also granted pardons to General Mark Milley, the Members of Congress and staff who served on the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, and the US Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee.

The heads of the Jan. 6 committee say they're grateful for the decision by President Joe Biden to pardon them “not for breaking the law but for upholding it.”

"My family and I are deeply grateful for the President's action today," Milley said in a statement to USA Today provided by a spokesperson.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, responded to President Joe Biden issuing him a preemptive pardon on Monday.

In a dramatic move during his final hours in office, President Joe Biden issued a series of high-profile pardons, granting clemency to Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, and several members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 riot at the U.

The outgoing president acted to short-circuit incoming President Trump’s stated plans to exact retribution from perceived enemies.

The statement stressed that the pardons "should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.
