President Biden on Monday pardoned Anthony Fauci, MD, using the extraordinary powers of his office in his final hours to guard against potential "revenge" by the incoming Trump administration. The decision comes after Donald Trump warned of an enemies list filled with those who have crossed him politically or sought to hold him accountable for his attempt to overturn his 2020 election loss and his role in the storming of the U.

Dr. Anthony Fauci helped coordinate the nation’s response to the COVID pandemic. He has never been charged with a crime, yet received a “full and unconditional” pardon back to Jan. 1, 2014.
