Overview

• Joe Biden issued preventive pardons on January 20, 2025, to shield individuals from politically motivated prosecutions before leaving office.
• Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that these pardons are 'null, void, and without effect,' citing alleged procedural irregularities.
• The pardons covered figures such as General Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and members of the January 6 Commission, a focal point of partisan tensions.
• Trump accused January 6 Commission members of orchestrating their own pardons without Biden's knowledge, though no evidence has been provided.
• Legal experts note the implications of Trump's claims remain unclear, with no immediate resolution or action reported.
