Republican lawmakers are vowing to investigate President Joe Bidenās last-minute preemptive Pardons of several key figures.
According to Fox News, some lawmakers are furious at Bidenās decision to pardon former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, and members of the House select committee on the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
Taking to social media platform X, U.S. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX.) said those who were pardoned need to be put before Congress.
āImplication is that they needed the Pardons⦠So, letās call them all before Congress and demand the truth. If they refuse or lie ā letās test the constitutional āreachā of these Pardons with regard to their future actions,ā Roy wrote on X.
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY.), who questioned Fauciās handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent vaccines, also took to X to disavow Bidenās Pardons, and said he will not rest until the truth is uncovered.
āIf there was ever any doubt as to who bears responsibility for the COVID pandemic, Bidenās pardon of Fauci forever seals the deal,ā Rand wrote on X, āAs Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee I will not rest until the entire truth of the coverup is exposed.ā
Paul further noted Fauciās pardon only acts as an āaccelerantā and pointed out Fauci will be the first government scientist to ever receive a preemptive pardon.
āFauciās pardon will only serve as an accelerant to pierce the veil of deception. Ignominious! Anthony Fauci will go down in history as the first government scientist to be preemptively pardoned for a crime,ā Paul said.
In a statement to Fox News, Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA.) called the Pardons corrupt and said Democrats are attempting to cover up crimes committed.
āJoe Biden just issued preemptive Pardons for Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, and Members of Congress and staff of the sham J6 Committee. In its final hours, the most CORRUPT Administration in American history is covering up Democratsā trail of criminal activity,ā Clyde said.
