President Joe Biden is considering issuing preemptive pardons for individuals who may be targeted by the incoming Trump administration, including Gen. Mark Milley, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, and Dr. Anthony Fauci. This follows Biden's recent pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, which drew criticism. The move is in response to President-elect Donald Trump's promises of retribution against political adversaries, with Milley, Cheney, Schiff, and Fauci having been frequent targets of Trump's criticism.
