Doctor Anthony Fauci tells me he is “grateful” for the pardon he received from the President, noting he had just received word of Biden’s decision from his attorney this morning. “It feels good and I’m grateful to the president for doing it,” Dr. Fauci said in a brief phone call.

Fauci pointed to the president’s statement that noted he has not committed any crimes.
“I have done nothing wrong. Certainly nothing criminal. No grounds at all,” Fauci said.

He said the Biden WH contacted him about a month ago about “the baseless threats against me” and added the president was exploring the idea of granting a preemptive pardon. “I didn’t know it was real until last night,” Fauci said.

Fauci said he was becoming increasingly concerned for his safety and pointed to congressional hearings last year when Republican lawmakers accused him of committing crimes. Fauci added the Biden WH expressed concern about the “immeasurable stress” threats were placing on his family.
