President Joe Biden granted clemency to a select group of individuals, including former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney and Dr. Anthony Fauci, in a last-minute effort to shield them from potential reprisals by President-elect Donald Trump. Legal experts, however, noted that the pardons wouldn’t protect them from testifying under oath if subpoenaed. Federal litigation attorney Jesse Binnall argued that the pardons wouldn’t prevent Cheney and Fauci from facing consequences if they lie under oath. Others questioned the fairness of pardons in Washington, D.C., suggesting legal proceedings should be moved elsewhere. Trump criticized Biden’s pardons, particularly for Cheney and Gen. Mark Milley.
