President Biden's pardon protects Anthony Fauci, a longtime target of MAGA critics, from charges related to the contentious debate over origins of Covid or other issues.

The heads of the Jan. 6 committee say they're grateful for the decision by President Joe Biden to pardon them “not for breaking the law but for upholding it.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci helped coordinate the nation’s response to the COVID pandemic. He has never been charged with a crime, yet received a “full and unconditional” pardon back to Jan. 1, 2014.
