In his first interview after taking office, Donald Trump expressed surprise that Joe Biden did not pardon himself. "If you look at it, it all had to do with him," said the President of the United States.

In his last day as president, Joe Biden pardoned five members of his extended family, including his two brothers, James Biden and Francis Biden, and his sister Valerie Biden Owens. He also issued pardons to former White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci, who helped coordinate the nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
