"My family and I are deeply grateful for the President's action today," Milley said in a statement to USA Today provided by a spokesperson.

Six years after Team Trump wanted the USS John McCain “out of sight,” a painting of Trump’s former joint chiefs’ chairman had to be put out of sight, too.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Monday pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, in an extraordinary use of the powers of the presidency in his final hours to guard against potential “revenge” by the incoming Trump administration.

Former President Biden’s preemptive pardon for retired Gen. Mark Milley, the former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will give the retired military official a shield against any action that President Trump might take against him amid their highly public feud.

The Pentagon on Monday removed the portrait of Mark Milley, the retired Army general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to two Reuters witnesses, in a move that happened within two hours of President Donald Trump's inauguration.

President Joe Biden has sparked fury after issuing preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark A. Milley and the members of Congress who served on the House January 6 X Select Committee.

With just hours left of his presidency, Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House Jan. 6 committee.

The Pentagon pulled down a portrait of retired US Army General and frequent Donald Trump critic Mark Milley just hours after Trump’s Monday inauguration in Washington, DC, witnesses told Reuters.

A day that began with the outgoing president’s pardon of lawmakers and his own family ended with the incoming president’s pardon of supporters who attacked the U.S.

Another controversial executive order Trump signed was one aiming to cut off birthright citizenship. Critics immediately pounced on Trump, arguing people born in the United States are granted citizenship under the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment even if their birth parents migrated here illegally.

During his inauguration, the president exuded the energy of a man convinced he has nearly absolute power and that no one can stop him.
