Newly-released emails suggest that Dr. Anthony Fauci went out of his way to hide information during the COVID-19 pandemic — and then lied about doing so when questioned about it by members of Congress.
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) shared screenshots of two separate emails, both of which contained information that Fauci apparently did not want to see the light of day — in both cases, Fauci had clearly instructed the recipient to &#8220;delete&#8221; the message once it had been read. Paul also shared a copy of a letter addressed to Fauci on September 9, referencing the emails in conjunction with his prior testimony — during which he claimed several times that he had not attempted to hide or delete any relevant information regarding the pandemic from Congress — and calling for him to testify again.
&#8220;Newly released emails show Fauci directed colleagues to &#8216;delete this after you read it&#8217; — dating back to Feb. 2020,&#8221; Paul wrote. &#8220;He denied it under oath. These documents are now public, and Fauci will finally testify before Chairman Rand Paul.&#8221;

Paul included in the letter a list of documents that Fauci, 84, was to provide within two weeks, no later than 5 pm on September 23. In addition to emails, attachments, calls, texts, and voicemails, Paul requested all telephone numbers, messaging app usernames, and email addresses — whether government or private — that Fauci used between January 1, 2018, and January 1, 2023.
He followed the letter with additional X posts showing the emails in question.
&#8220;Freshly released emails expose another layer of the Fauci COVID Coverup. In April 2020, his staff flagged my post on NYC’s soaring death rate. Fauci’s reply?

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said on Monday that he planned to &#8220;reissue&#8221; a criminal referral for Dr. Anthony Fauci and send it directly to President Donald Trump&#8217;s Justice Department.
Paul made the announcement via an X post after a New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/13/us/politics/biden-pardon-autopen-trump.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;referringSource=articleShare">report</a> shed light on the number of pardons and commutations — supposedly issued by former President Joe Biden — that were signed with the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admits-he-used-autopen-for-mass-criminal-pardons-says-he-didnt-review-every-case">autopen</a> at the direction of Biden&#8217;s Chief of Staff, Jeff Zients.
According to the NYT, a number of pardons — including so-called &#8220;preemptive&#8221; pardons for people like Fauci, retired General Mark Milley, and members of Biden&#8217;s family who had not actually been charged with crimes yet — were discussed at a meeting on January 19.
<blockquote>
At the Jan. 19 meeting, which took place in the Yellow Oval Room of the White House residence, Mr. Biden kept his aides until nearly 10 p.m. to talk through such decisions, according to people familiar with the matter.
The emails show that an aide to Mr. Siskel sent a draft summary of Mr. Biden’s decisions at that meeting to an assistant to Mr. Zients, copying Mr. Siskel, at 10:03 p.m. The assistant forwarded it to Mr. Reed and Mr. Zients, asking for their approval, and then sent a final version to Ms. Feldman — copying many meeting participants and aides — at 10:28 p.m.
Three minutes later, Mr. Zients hit “reply all” and wrote, “I approve the use of the autopen for the execution of all of the following pardons.”
</blockquote>
Paul, in response to the news that Fauci&#8217;s pardon had been among those that were issued by autopen on Zients&#8217; orders, declared his intention to push ahead with a criminal referral for Fauci.
&#8220;Today I will reissue my criminal referral of Anthony Fauci to Trump DOJ!&#8221; he said.

He has also repeatedly accused Fauci of lying under oath to hide his own connections to the lab and type of research in question.

The Biden administration was aware of potentially deadly side effects associated with COVID vaccines and chose not to alert the public about the risks for months, according to a bombshell Senate report obtained by The Daily Wire.
According to the report from the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, officials knew as early as February 2021 that the vaccines were associated with myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the thin sac surrounding the heart). Still, they waited to warn the public until June as they pushed the vaccine on Americans. 
The report concludes that U.S. health officials &#8220;knew about the risks of myocarditis,&#8221; &#8220;downplayed the health concern,&#8221; and deliberately &#8220;delayed informing the public about the risk.&#8221;
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), who chairs the committee and will lead a hearing on it later this afternoon, told The Daily Wire that Biden officials delayed reporting the side effects because they were concerned about &#8220;vaccine hesitancy.&#8221; 
&#8220;But in being concerned about that, they violated the inviolable principle of informed consent,&#8221; Johnson said.

&nbsp;
&#8220;The federal government was very well aware of the myocarditis signal, particularly in young men, as early as February [2021],&#8221; Johnson told The Daily Wire, adding that Israeli officials were informing the United States about side effects they were noticing.
In late February, a CDC official named Lauri Markowitz, who co-led the Vaccine Safety Technical Work Group (VaST), sent an email concerning the “draft minutes and summary report from the VaST call this week” and stressed that “all VaST documents and communications are confidential.”
According to that email, the call included an update about nearly 1,000 death reports to VAERS following vaccination. Notably, the email said that in the cases where cause of death was “known,” it was “often cardiovascular”:
<blockquote>There have been 19536 VAERS reports (Moderna: 7092 PfizerBioNTech: 12444), including 1287 reports of COVID-19 disease after vaccination and 980 death reports to VAERS. Of the death reports, 470 were from long term care facilities. Where known, the cause of death was often cardiovascular.</blockquote>
Israel rolled out vaccinations quicker than the United States, so Israeli health officials saw adverse effects sooner.
The report states that the Israeli Ministry of Health notified Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials of “large reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people, following the administration of the Pfizer vaccine.”

Johnson said the report — &#8220;Failure to Warn: How Federal Health Agencies Downplayed the Risk of Myocarditis and Other Adverse Events Following COVID-19 Vaccination&#8221; — documents this apparent cover up in over 2,400 pages of attachments, which largely derive from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
&#8220;For a number of months, they were talking about these things. At some point in time, they actually internally said, &#8216;Is there a signal of myocarditis, a safety signal?&#8217; And the answer was &#8216;Yes,'&#8221; Johnson explained. &#8220;And yet, a couple of days later, they decided not to issue a warning on the Health Alert Network (HAN).&#8221;
&#8220;Rather than provide informed consent, the federal health agencies, the Biden administration, covered it up,&#8221; Johnson charged. &#8220;They downplayed the signals.&#8221;
The report notes that the Biden White House &#8220;distribut[ed] talking points to top U.S. health officials,&#8221; including National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, downplaying the risk of myocarditis:
<blockquote>Rather than provide the public and health care providers with immediate and transparent information regarding the risk of myocarditis following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, the Biden administration waited until late June 2021 to announce changes to the labels for the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines based on the “suggested increased risks” of myocarditis and pericarditis. Even though CDC and FDA officials were well aware of the risk of myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination, the Biden administration opted to withhold issuing a formal warning to the public for months about the safety concerns, jeopardizing the health of young Americans. </blockquote>
An executive summary of the report notes that Johnson&#8217;s committee was effectively stonewalled by the Biden administration when requesting documents, seeking transparency. Under the Trump administration, that changed.
&#8220;Now, under a new administration and a new HHS secretary, HHS is beginning to produce records, pursuant to the chairman’s subpoena, that should have been provided years ago, without redactions, to Congress and the public,&#8221; the report said.

President Donald Trump took action on Monday to stop federal money going toward gain-of-function research, a controversial practice linked to the COVID origins debate, in China and other countries.
The move came in the form of an executive order, which Trump showed off in the Oval Office of the White House, with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Jay Bhattacharya, and others in attendance.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a big deal,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;It could have been that we wouldn&#8217;t have had the problem we had if we had this done earlier,&#8221; he continued, alluding to the COVID pandemic, which began during Trump&#8217;s first term.

Gain-of-function research — in which viruses are enhanced by scientists, often to study potential treatments or prepare for future outbreaks — has become a major focus of the lab leak theory <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cia-assesses-chinese-lab-leak-responsible-for-coronavirus-pandemic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">increasingly</a> favored by U.S. agencies.
Last year, the federal government <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hhs-moves-to-defund-ecohealth-alliance-says-action-needed-to-protect-the-public-interest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended</a> funds to EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S.-based nonprofit group that was receiving <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/15/health/ecohealth-alliance-peter-daszak-nih-grants.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">millions</a> of dollars in grant money as it faced intense scrutiny for its collaboration with a lab in Wuhan, China, suspected in the COVID outbreak.
Dr. Anthony Fauci denied under oath that NIH funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, but he did not convince Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who accused the longtime health official of lying to Congress with a criminal <a href="https://x.com/RandPaul/status/1685370259451109376" target="_blank" rel="noopener">referral</a> to the Department of Justice.
While President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-issues-last-minute-pardons-for-fauci-mark-milley-and-jan-6-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> Fauci a preemptive pardon before leaving office, the Trump administration may yet have more to say on the matter.

Trump&#8217;s executive order also mandates stricter oversight, transparency, and enforcement mechanisms for federally funded life-science research, while demanding frameworks for regulating non-federally funded research and nucleic acid synthesis to prevent misuse.
&#8220;Anthony Fauci essentially restarted the bio-weapons arms race and did it under the pretention [sic] of developing vaccines — eventually moving his experiments offshore, mainly to the Wuhan Lab,&#8221; Kennedy <a href="https://x.com/SecKennedy/status/1919543281349734858" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;[The president] today moved to shut down this kind of research in this country and to stop funding it abroad.&#8221;

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday called for the United States to stop funding gain-of-function research at biolabs around the world.
Gabbard made the comments during an interview with podcast host Megyn Kelly, as they discussed the likelihood that the United States directly funded the research that led to the creation of COVID-19 and the state of the ongoing probe into the lab leak that released the virus. It is now widely accepted by American officials that a lab leak stemming from gain-of-function research triggered the 2020 pandemic.
“The reason why this is so important is not just what has happened in the past, it&#8217;s because this gain-of-function is happening in biolabs around the world,” Gabbard <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMKTSYxto_Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, pointing to her previous warnings about U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine.
“In order to prevent another COVID-like pandemic or another major health incident that could effect us in the world, we have to end this gain-of-function research and provide the evidence that shows exactly why and how it’s in our best interests, the American people’s best interest, to bring an end to it,” she added.
Gain-of-function research is a process in which scientists genetically alter an organism to study how it responds under specific conditions. It can involve increasing transmissibility, virulence, and other characteristics of a pathogen.
Gabbard did not specifically name which American-funded labs she said were performing gain-of-function research.
Gabbard told Kelly that she still had an intelligence team working with National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya and Health and Human Services Director Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to investigate direct links between U.S.-funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, and the pandemic.
Kelly asked when the public could expect to find out the &#8220;exact experiment&#8221; that led to COVID. Gabbard replied that her team was working on it with Bhattacharya and would release the information &#8220;hopefully very soon.&#8221;
Based on the increasing consensus that the lab leak was the cause, Gabbard said she was not surprised that Dr. Anthony Fauci had been pardoned preemptively as President Joe Biden left office. “Is it any wonder that he sought a preemptive pardon for anything during a certain period of time by President Biden before he left office?” she said.
In May 2021, Fauci <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/20/if-anybody-is-lying-here-senator-it-is-you-fauci-tells-sen-paul-in-heated-exchange-at-senate-hearing.html">said</a> that the NIH “has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” However, later evidence from the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic determined that the EcoHealth Alliance used NIH dollars to fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan. EcoHealth is currently under investigation by the Justice Department and has been barred from receiving any further federal grant dollars.
Gabbard said that much of the research her team has conducted can be found at <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/lab-leak-true-origins-of-covid-19/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">COVID.gov</a>, where the Trump administration has compiled a page explaining how the coronavirus is believed to have originated in a Chinese lab.
In addition to the COVID investigation, Gabbard said that her team was looking at other instances of the United States funding &#8220;dangerous&#8221; gain-of-function research that &#8220;in many examples has resulted in either a pandemic or some other major health crisis.”

Wuhan Institute of Virology

Anyone who went to COVID.gov on Friday hoping to find information about where to get their 10th booster was in for a big shock.
The website, created by the Biden administration to spread information about vaccines and other government COVID policies, now <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/lab-leak-true-origins-of-covid-19/">redirects to a page</a> explaining how the coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab.
&#8220;LAB LEAK: The True Origins of COVID-19&#8221; walks readers through the pandemic&#8217;s origins and exposes Dr. Anthony Fauci and other government officials who attempted to discredit the now-vindicated lab leak theory. The website explains how the coronavirus likely originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where a group called EcoHealth &#8220;used U.S. taxpayer dollars to facilitate dangerous gain-of-function research.&#8221;
Democrats and the mainstream media long dismissed this theory as a &#8220;conspiracy&#8221; and actively pushed a different narrative.
“&#8217;The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2&#8242; publication — which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory — was prompted by Dr. Fauci to push the preferred narrative that COVID-19 originated naturally,&#8221; the website says. &#8220;By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.&#8221;
&#8220;The American people deserve to know the truth about the Covid pandemic and we will always find ways to reach communities with that message,&#8221; a senior Trump administration official told Fox News.
The website makes the case against various government COVID recommendations, including mask mandates, lockdowns, and social distancing.
&#8220;There was no conclusive evidence that masks effectively protected Americans from COVID-19,&#8221; the website states. &#8220;Prolonged lockdowns caused immeasurable harm to not only the American economy, but also to the mental and physical health of Americans, with a particularly negative effect on younger citizens.&#8221;
It devotes an entire section to &#8220;New York Pandemic Failures,&#8221; which explains that then-Governor Andrew Cuomo and his administration &#8220;worked to cover up the tragic aftermath of their policy decisions in an apparent effort to shield themselves from accountability.&#8221;

In addition to Cuomo, the website singles out Fauci for claiming that the coronavirus &#8220;just sort of appeared,&#8221; and notes that Biden granted Fauci a &#8220;full and unconditional pardon&#8221; shortly before leaving office.

A government watchdog is sounding the alarm on former President Joe Biden&#8217;s liberal use of an autopen to sign official documents, saying it raises concerns about who controlled the presidency, given Biden&#8217;s cognitive decline.
Biden pardoned six criminals on December 30, 2022, with the &#8220;exact same autopen signature&#8221; while the president was vacationing and golfing in the U.S. Virgin Islands, according to the Heritage Foundation&#8217;s Oversight Project.
&#8220;Note they all say they are &#8216;Signed in the City of Washington,'&#8221; the Oversight Project posted on X.
Around the same time, an omnibus spending bill was flown to Biden in the Virgin Islands to sign, but the pardons all appear to be signed by autopen, the watchdog said.
&#8220;Whoever controlled the autopen controlled the presidency,&#8221; the Oversight Project said.

Some prominent documents, including Hunter Biden&#8217;s pardon and Biden&#8217;s announcement that he was dropping out of the presidential race, appear to be hand signed, the watchdog found.
However, several other controversial pardons, including those for Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, the January 6 committee, and other Biden family members, were all signed with the same autopen signature, Kyle Brosnan, chief counsel for the Oversight Project told The Daily Wire.
Brosnan said that using the autopen to sign presidential pardons is particularly &#8220;troubling&#8221; since the authority to issue them rests solely with the president as a &#8220;constitutional principle.&#8221;
&#8220;You have to look at it in the context of President Biden&#8217;s mental decline,&#8221; Brosnan said, noting that Special Counsel Robert Hur&#8217;s report last year <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4456879-special-counsel-describes-biden-as-elderly-man-with-a-poor-memory-in-eye-raising-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> Biden an &#8220;elderly man with a poor memory.&#8221;
&#8220;I think we all saw with our own eyes his mental and physical deterioration over the course of his presidency,&#8221; Brosnan said. &#8220;There&#8217;s article after article that comes out showing how the Biden administration and his staff shielded him from public view, retinkered his schedule throughout the presidency, tried to script even what reporters he was calling on at press conferences, and that volume of evidence shows that President Biden wasn&#8217;t really running the White House. It was the staff. So if he&#8217;s not hand-signing these legally operative documents like pardons or even bills into law, that raises another question.&#8221;
The Justice Department should look into what the autopen policies of the previous White House were, whether certain individuals were authorized to operate the autopen, and what the approval process for affixing a signature looked like, Brosnan said.
&#8220;We need to figure out who was actually running the country for the last four years,&#8221; Brosnan said.
Brosnan said any legal cases against Biden&#8217;s signatures are still hypothetical, but he pointed to the questions around Chad Wolf&#8217;s status as acting homeland security secretary back in 2020, which resulted in a judge ruling that some of Wolf&#8217;s actions cracking down on illegal immigration were unlawful.

Hollywood star Woody Harrelson torched Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and said Fauci has done some “extraordinary evil s**t” and knows it.
During his recent appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1893765243815526484">podcast</a>, the 63-year-old actor and host both said they were hopeful that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — who has been sworn in as President Donald Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services — could right some of the wrongs they attributed to Fauci.
“Bobby (RFK Jr.), I really hope he’s able to do some good because he’s certainly a man on a mission,” Harrelson said. “And a man who cares deeply. And I think really heroic how much he stood up for things that he didn’t need to talk about … he just took one arrow after the other over it.”
Rogan admitted he once bought into the “propaganda” against Kennedy and said that he too used to think RFK Jr. was a “kook.” He said then he read his book “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health (Children’s Health Defense)” and changed his mind.

&#8220;If all these things [RFK] is saying about Anthony Fauci during the AIDS crisis, if that&#8217;s not true, why is he not getting sued?&#8221; the podcast host said. 
&#8220;I would sue the f**k outta him if he lied about me and said that I was vaccinating foster kids with experimental drugs that were killing them,” he added.
&#8220;The Hunger Games” star criticized the fact that “Fauci was able to get these principal investigators from like all these respectable colleges and put them on these committees&#8230;&#8221;
“He [Fauci] started with the AZT thing [to fight AIDS],” the three-time Oscar nominee said. “And, you know, AZT was known to be a highly toxic, really ineffective drug, and of course, that was the one they picked.”
“And so they started using that again, and I don’t know how many people that killed,” he added. “That killed friends of mine. AZT was very toxic and they finally had to yank it. And now they use different chemical cocktails, but like, Fauci did some extraordinarily evil s**t. And he knows what he did.”
The podcast host pointed out that the Matthew McConaughey movie “Dallas Buyers Club” dealt with the AIDS epidemic — and said that the villain in the movie was based on Fauci.
“That was about people trying to seek alternative treatments to deal with AIDS … that’s Fauci, that’s AZT,” Rogan said. “Magic Johnson got on AZT and it was killing him and he got off of it.”
Harrelson pointed out that Johnson is still alive, suggesting it was because he stopped taking the drug.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Trump</a> has canceled Dr. Anthony Fauci’s security detail.
“The Trump administration has cancelled Dr. Anthony Fauci&#8217;s security detail. Dr. Fauci has now hired his own security detail, according to a source familiar with the situation,” ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jon Karl <a href="https://x.com/jonkarl/status/1882833396629647382?s=46&amp;t=o-U3qwC25WnWaylJ0oeG7Q">reported</a>.
When a reporter asked about the decision, Trump <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/24/politics/video/california-voter-id-disaster-aid-trump-digvid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>, “I think when you work for government, at some point your security detail comes off. And y’know, you can’t have ‘em forever. So I think it’s very standard. If it would be for somebody else, you wouldn’t be asking the question.”
“The question is very fair, but y’know, you work for government; we took some off for other people, too,” he continued. “But you can’t have a security detail for the rest of your life because you worked for the government. &#8230; They all made a lot of money; they can hire their own security people, too.”
“A person familiar with the situation said Dr. Fauci had done just that, and now had his own security detail,” The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/us/politics/fauci-security-protection.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. “Dr. Fauci did not have Secret Service protection; he was protected by federal marshals and later by a private contractor whose fees were paid by the government, according to a spokeswoman for the U.S. Marshals Service.”
After the preemptive pardon former President Biden gave Fauci was slammed, Fauci retorted, “Let me be perfectly clear. I have committed no crime and there are no possible grounds for any allegation or threat of criminal investigation or prosecution of me.”

Open the Books <a href="https://openthebooks.substack.com/p/exclusive-as-private-citizen-dr-fauci" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> in November 2024:
<blockquote>
For the past two years, Dr. Anthony Fauci has received $15,000,000 in taxpayer-funded security services – despite having returned to private citizenship. Open the Books discovered the arrangement within a <a href="https://www.openthebooks.com/assets/1/6/2024-USMS-000194_-_FINAL.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">memorandum of understanding</a> (MOU) between the U.S. Marshals service and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) via a Freedom of Information Act request.
Up until at least late September, this agreement between the two government agencies has left the American taxpayer on the hook for the costs attached to Dr. Fauci’s lifestyle, which included a publicly-funded chauffeur and a fully staffed U.S. Marshals security detail. The $15 million does not include the costs associated with his personal security from <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fauci-security-detail-threats-source/story?id=69933965" target="_blank" rel="noopener">April 2020</a> to December 2022, which was handled by the same parties  while he was still serving in government.

Trump Cancels Fauci’s Security Detail

Now-former President Joe Biden spent his last few hours in office issuing blanket pardons — which he swore in 2020 that he would not do — to a few select people, most of whom he simultaneously claimed were not guilty of any wrongdoing.
While a number of critics pointed out the fact that Biden had gone back on his word, most voiced concerns about who had received those pardons and what that said about them — and about Biden.

Drew Holden with American Compass noted the disparity in the way that The New York Times had covered the last-minute pardons issued by Biden compared to those issued by President Donald Trump in January 2020.
The former were described by NYT reporter Peter Baker as being issued &#8220;to head off politically driven prosecutions.&#8221; The latter, as described by Maggie Haberman and Michael Schmidt, were intended &#8220;to override courts, juries and prosecutors to apply his own standard of justice for his allies.&#8221;

‘Absolutely Insane And Absolutely Predictable’: People Respond To Biden’s 11th-Hour Pardons

'Absolutely Insane And Absolutely Predictable': People Respond To Biden's 11th-Hour Pardons

January 6 Committee

Mark Milley

Media

Rachel Vindman complained on Monday that her husband, impeachment witness Alexander Vindman, had not been added to the list of now-former President Joe Biden&#8217;s extensive list of eleventh-hour pardons on his way out of the White House.
Following the news that Biden had pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and nearly everyone involved with the January 6 Select Committee — including former Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) — Vindman took to Meta&#8217;s Threads to make her disappointment known.

She also responded to someone who asked whether her husband had requested a pardon, and her answer did nothing to clarify whether he had.
&#8220;Hi, Karen, where did you hear Alex didn’t request a pardon? Do you know me? Also, there is wide reporting many who received pardons were surprised and didn’t request them,&#8221; <a href="https://www.threads.net/@rachelvindman/post/DFDaSAoR9fV?xmt=AQGzlm3R22mEP_-wFe7-pfRLcr3QsaYhZIm5v3VUmBJBgx8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vindman said</a>.

Just a few hours later, the White House announced that Biden had issued another set of pardons for several of his own close relatives, including James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden.

Just weeks after then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden was declared the winner over President Donald Trump in 2020, he <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2020/12/03/biden-harris-intv-trump-pardons-justice-department-tapper-preview-sot-vpx.cnn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper that Trump&#8217;s reported consideration of preemptive pardons concerned him.
Biden and then-Vice President-elect Kamala Harris sat down for an <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2020/12/03/biden-harris-intv-trump-pardons-justice-department-tapper-preview-sot-vpx.cnn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with Tapper in early December 2020. Biden was asked about Trump potentially issuing preemptive pardons for his closest allies and himself — a move Trump never made. Biden responded by promising that the American people would not &#8220;see in our administration that kind of approach to pardons.&#8221;
&#8220;President Trump is reportedly considering a wave of preemptive pardons. &#8230; Does this concern you?&#8221; Tapper asked.
&#8220;Well, it concerns me in terms of what kind of precedent it sets and how the rest of the world looks at us as a nation of laws and justice,&#8221; Biden said.
&#8220;Now in terms of the pardons, you&#8217;re not going to see in our administration that kind of approach to pardons,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Nor are you going to see in our administration the approach to making policy by tweets. You know, it&#8217;s going to be a totally different way to which we approach the justice system.&#8221;
Biden&#8217;s comments from four years ago directly contradict his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-issues-last-minute-pardons-for-fauci-mark-milley-and-jan-6-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">last-minute action</a> on Monday morning to issue preemptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and members of the Democrat-run January 6 Committee. Later in the day — just before Trump was sworn in — Biden also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-biden-issues-more-pardons-for-his-family-during-final-minutes-of-presidency" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pardoned</a> his brother, James B. Biden; James Biden’s wife, Sara Jones Biden; his sister, Valerie Biden Owens; Valerie Owens’ husband, John T. Owens; and his brother, Francis W. Biden.
The Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/biden-trump-fauci-milley-pardons-january-6-3cba287f89051513fb48d7ae700ae747" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> the preemptive pardons an &#8220;extraordinary use of the powers of the presidency,&#8221; adding that Biden &#8220;has used the power in the broadest and most untested way possible: to pardon those who have not even been investigated.&#8221;

The outgoing president said in a statement that his preemptive pardons for Fauci, Milley, and the J6 Committee &#8220;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.&#8221;
&#8220;Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country,&#8221; he added.
Biden&#8217;s action on Inauguration Day marks the second time the president has gone back on his word to issue pardons before the end of his term. In early December, the president <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/president-biden-pardons-hunter-claims-son-was-singled-out" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pardoned</a> his son, Hunter Biden, after promising he wouldn&#8217;t take such a step. As Biden pledged to the public that he would not pardon Hunter after his conviction in June, the president was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pardoning-hunter-was-on-the-table-when-joe-biden-said-he-wouldnt-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> discussing a pardon behind the scenes.
