The claim is supported: Biden's pardon of Fauci covers offenses from January 1, 2014 through the date of the pardon, January 19, 2025, which is one day before Biden left office on January 20, 2025.
What was said
… easily forget what we all lived through, and they move on, but it was an opportunity to memorialize, with him having to sit there watching and listening to U.S. Senators like yourself remind everybody of just what happened. I think that was really important, but he's also got a blanket pardon dating all the way back to 2014 up until the time Joe Biden left office, and you guys are federal office holders, so there is a risk. But people are upset. They call it failure theater. They call it more political theater in D.C. I disagree, but I want to hear your perspective on that, Senator. Why was yesterday important? …
The Charlie Kirk Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. The DOJ pardon warrant grants Fauci a full and unconditional pardon for offenses committed from January 1, 2014 through the date of the pardon, which was January 19, 2025.[3]
Supports. AP reports Biden pardoned Fauci in one of his final acts as president, in a pardon the sources describe as broad and covering offenses from 2014 onward.[1]
Supports. Northeastern University experts and Snopes both describe the pardon as covering federal offenses from 2014 up to the pardon's issuance just before Biden left office.[2][4]
Context. The pardon ends January 19, 2025, not on the exact day Biden left office (January 20, 2025). Sources describe this as a one-day difference, and it does not change the substance of the claim.[3][5]
