Mississippi Congressman Bennie Thompson and former Congresswoman Liz Cheney are expressing their gratitude to outgoing President Joe Biden for issuing a pardon for their work on the January 6 Bipartisan Select Committee.

At almost the last minute, President Biden issued surprising preemptive pardons for some of Donald Trump’s enemies. On Monday morning, Biden issued pardons to Anthony Fauci, the infectious diseases expert who took on the Covid-19 pandemic,

WASHINGTON • President Joe Biden on Monday pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson and other members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Biden shocked many of his supporters last month when he pardoned his son Hunter from all present and future crimes out of fear that the coming Trump administration would single him out. Monday’s pardons seem to be protecting some of the right’s favorite bogeymen from Trump’s vengeance, which could come soon after he is sworn in later in the day.

President Biden said the pardons are not an "acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing" but rather protect individuals from "unjustified and politically motivated prosectutions."

President Joe Biden granted pardons to several prominent public servants Monday who have faced attacks from President-elect Donald Trump in one of his final acts in office.

As Mississippi and the nation face new challenges, Bennie Thompson's legacy serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the power of principled public service. His journey from the cotton fields of Bolton to the halls of Congress embodies the American dream and the ongoing struggle for a more perfect union.

Retired Gen. Mark Milley has expressed his gratitude to President Joe Biden for issuing him a pardon, saying the move alleviates his concerns over potential "retribution" by the incoming Trump administration.

As one of President Joe Biden's final acts Monday, he announced several pre-emptive pardons including that of Mississippi Congressman Bennie Thompson.
