Biden’s Final Presidential Acts
In a surprising turn of events during his last hours as president, Joe Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons aimed at protecting key figures. Among those pardoned are Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley and members of the Jan. 6 Committee.
These decisions follow President Trump’s flirtation with political retaliation and his selection of Cabinet members known for their firm stances. Biden took to social media platform X to defend these actions, stating:
“A pardon does not imply guilt—it’s a safeguard against baseless investigations that could unjustly damage reputations and finances.”

With the inauguration of Donald J. Trump marking a new chapter in American politics, speculation surrounds how his administration will quickly establish itself. Stay tuned for the latest updates and analysis as the day unfolds.
