Biden Administration deciding whether to give PARDONS to Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney, & Adam Schiff before Trump takes office

Dec 6, 2024
The Biden administration is considering issuing preemptive pardons for several public officials, according to sources close to the discussions who spoke with Politico. These pardons could be granted to individuals who senior aides believe may be targeted by President-elect Donald Trump.

The potential pardons could include high-profile figures who have been outspoken against Trump, such as Senator-elect Adam Schiff of California, former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney and Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key figure in U.S. health policy during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The White House is weighing the legal and political risks of offering preemptive pardons to individuals who are not currently facing criminal charges but could be protected from future prosecution if charges were later brought.

Some of those reportedly being considered for pardons have already expressed hesitation. Schiff has said he would “urge the president not to do that,” noting that such a move “would seem defensive and unnecessary.”

In June 2024, Trump posted on Truth Social that the January 6th Select Committee should be indicted, accusing members of deleting and destroying evidence. However, Trump has also stated that he will not target political opponents, asserting his revenge will be his success.

The discussions about potential pardons come after Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, a move that has received mixed reactions. Some Democrats have called on Biden to issue additional pardons.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued a statement urging Biden to use his final weeks in office to extend “the high level of compassion he has consistently demonstrated throughout his life.” Jeffries called for pardons on a case-by-case basis for working-class Americans in the federal prison system who have been negatively impacted by aggressive prosecutions for nonviolent offenses.
