Biden Pardons For Cheney, Fauci, Others Could Backfire: Legal Expert

In a round of last-minute pardons aimed at shielding allies from potential reprisals by President-elect Donald Trump, President Joe Biden granted clemency to a select group of individuals—but the move is not without complications for the recipients.

Former Wyoming Republican congresswoman and Jan. 6 Committee co-chair Liz Cheney and Dr. Anthony Fauci were among the limited list of pardon recipients, a gesture Biden’s aides say was intended to preempt acts of vengeance by Trump or his incoming administration.

However, legal experts were quick to point out that the pardons would not exempt either individual from having to testify under oath if subpoenaed.

Federal litigation attorney Jesse Binnall pointed out that Biden’s pardons do not shield Cheney Fauci from consequences if they lie under oath, should the GOP-controlled Congress subpoena them to testify. In his words, the pardons could be “great news” for anyone seeking to see the two prosecuted.

“The pardons are actually great news. No one who was just pardoned will be able to refuse to testify in a civil, criminal, or congressional proceeding based upon the 5th Amendment,” Binnall wrote on X, before dropping another truth bomb.

“And let’s just be realistic. Most of these disgusting individuals would probably have to be charged in Washington, DC, which doesn’t convict partisan leftists,” Binnall, also a former attorney for President Donald Trump,wrote.

Other X users offered a potential solution to the problem of liberal bias in DC, including retired U.S. Army officer, lawyer, and author Kurt Schlichter.

“This is key – the depositions and the actual testimony must take place outside of Washington DC. Washington DC is a biased venue that will not convict Democrats when they commit perjury. Accordingly, take this show on the road,” he wrote.

Others who received Sunday night pardons were former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman and Army Gen. Mark Milley, who later criticized Trump during his first term and all other members of the J6 committee.

Trump specifically addressed Biden’s pardon of Cheney while he was signing executive orders in the Oval Office on Monday in between inauguration day functions.

“I was going to talk about the things that Joe did today with the pardons of people that were very, very guilty of very bad crimes, like the unselect committee of political folks,” he told assembled reporters, referring to the Jan. 6 panel.

“Why are we doing this? Why are we trying to help a guy like Milley? Why are we helping Liz Cheney?” he asked. “I mean, Liz Cheney is a disaster. She’s a crying lunatic and crying, crying.”

United States of America President, Donald Trump’s appointed new administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Lee Zeldin, said he has cancelled a Joe Biden-era $50 million environmental justice grant to an organisation that believes “climate justice travels through a Free Palestine”.

“Just earlier today, I cancelled a $50 million grant to an organisation called the Climate Justice Alliance.

“They say that climate justice runs through a free Palestine. I think that the American taxpayer wouldn’t want $50 million going to this left-wing advocacy group. It’s cancelled,” he said.

Zeldin also noted that Congress has advocated against the grant.

In the past days after Trump’s inauguration as the US 47th president, he has reversed some decisions taken under Biden’s administration.

DAILY POST recalls that Trump ditched Biden’s paper straws policy for the US return to plastic usage.

What a Difference a POTUS Makes: Army Recruiting for December and January Both Shatter Records Going Back Years

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed Tuesday that preliminary recruitment figures for the military show how interest in serving is quickly rising under President Donald Trump.

Hegseth revealed that the Army had its best recruitment totals in 12 years in December 2024, the first full month after Trump was re-elected.

That was followed by the best recruiting numbers in 15 years as of January 2025, the month in which Trump officially took office.

The conclusion Hegseth drew is that “America’s youth want to serve” under the bold and strong “America First” leadership offered by Trump.

The Army now expects to add 10 more basic training units in April across Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and Fort Sill, Oklahoma, according to a report from Military.com. That puts the Army on track to train 9,600 recruits per year.

All of this is quite the shift from the administration of now-former President Joe Biden.

Donald Trump has unsurprisingly stirred up controversy following his re-election to President for a second term.

Just days after taking office, the 78-year-old signed 25 executive orders that included stopping the TikTok ban and declaring that there are only two genders in the United States.

As the State Department enacted a one-flag policy, any US embassy or overseas mission cannot fly the Pride or Black Lives Matter flag, according to The Washington Free Beacon.

This means that only three flags that are not the stars and stripes of the United States’ national flag are permitted to be flown. These are: the Prisoner of War, the Missing in Action, and the Hostage of Wrongful Detainee flags.

The Beacon reported: “Starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestic and abroad, and featured in U.S. government content.”

The order was unanimously confirmed by the Senate on Monday (20 January) in a 99-0 vote.

Both of the flags have been raised in front of official US buildings, such as the US Embassy and Consulate in Brazil, which raised the Black Lives Matter flag in February 2022 to ‘commemorate Black History Month
