The doctor who everyone remembers and will never forget from 2020 travels with a half dozen bodyguards at all time.
Dr. Fauci
President Biden’s team is reportedly considering preemptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci, Sen.-elect Adam Schiff, and former Rep. Liz Cheney. The move aims to protect them from potential investigations under the incoming Trump administration, especially with Kash Patel expected to become FBI Director.
Dr. Fauci has faced renewed scrutiny in the final House subcommittee report on the COVID-19 pandemic. Allegations in the report include misleading testimony about gain-of-function research funding and the lack of scientific backing for certain pandemic policies. Schiff and Cheney, on the other hand, remain under fire for their leadership of the January 6 select committee.
The idea has sparked debate—critics say it could imply guilt, while supporters argue it’s a defense against political retaliation. Fauci faces scrutiny over pandemic policies and funding, while Schiff and Cheney remain targets for their roles in the January 6 investigation.
