Washington DC | President Joe Biden granted pardons to leading government officials that President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to punish, fending off potential retribution by his successor against those he has labelled as political enemies.
Those pardoned include retired General Mark Milley, infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci, and members of Congress and staff who served on the select committee which investigated the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol and recommended that Mr Trump be prosecuted for his role in the insurrection.
