President Biden pardons his siblings just minutes before leaving office
Fox News
President Biden issued pre-emptive pardons for his siblings and their spouses just moments before President-elect Trump took the oath of office on Monday.
"I believe in the rule of law, and I am optimistic that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics. But baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families. Even when individuals have done nothing wrong and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage their reputations and finances," Biden said in a statement.
