The change of power in the US Biden's exit

Biden's final move – pardons Trump's "enemies"

Biden is making a final move as US president and pardons several of Trump's "enemies", writes Reuters. Including infectious disease doctor Anthony Fauci, who was the White House's special advisor during the corona pandemic, and Mark Milley, who was Trump's chief of staff during his first term.

The pardon also includes members and witnesses of the so-called January 6th Committee, which is investigating the storming of the Capitol. The committee also included former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney.

"They do not deserve to be targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions", Biden said in a statement.

The pardons are being done as a precaution so that they are not exposed to retaliatory measures under President-elect Donald Trump, who is sworn in today.

Biden pardons five more – the most in history

During his last day in office, US President Joe Biden pardoned five people, according to a statement from the White House.

One of them is civil rights activist Marcus Garvey, who died in 1940 and is being pardoned posthumously. Garvey was convicted of mail fraud in 1923.

In the statement, Biden says that the United States is a "country built on the promise of second chances" and that he is the president who has granted the most pardons in the country's history.

In December, he pardoned his own son Hunter, who was convicted of weapons crimes and pleaded guilty to tax fraud, which drew sharp criticism from many quarters. The president said that Hunter had been treated unfairly and that political enemies had attacked his son to get at him.

Sources: Biden's Inner Circle Covered Up His Health

President Joe Biden's family and inner circle worked quietly to conceal his "physical decline," the New York Times reports.

When he was still set to run for re-election, several measures were reportedly put in place. Among other things, adjusting his schedule to his current state, surrounding him with staff at public events and walks. "Your biggest problem is the perception of your age," strategist Mike Donilon said back in 2022, according to three sources.

Staff were able to reschedule important meetings for times when Biden was having a good day mentally and was in a good mood, according to the sources. They also allegedly avoided showing him certain negative polls and information.
