GOP lawmakers pledge to investigate Biden's last-minute pardons: 'Call them all before Congress' | 20 Jan 2025 | Republican lawmakers are reacting furiously to President Biden's 11th-hour decision to pardon several allies who President-elect Trump and his circle have threatened retribution against, made hours before ceding power to the new commander in chief. "Implication is that they needed the pardons," Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "So, let’s call them all before Congress and demand the truth. If they refuse or lie -- let's test the constitutional 'reach' of these pardons with regard to their future actions." Biden announced early on Monday that he was issuing preemptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, and members and staff of the now-defunct House select committee on the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
