President Biden issued preemptive pardons to Sen. Adam Schiff and others involved in the January 6 investigation, citing the need to protect them from political prosecutions.
Biden emphasized that the individuals pardoned had "served our nation with honor and distinction" and were facing politically motivated threats and prosecutions.
Adam Schiff expressed skepticism about the need for a pardon, stating, "I don't think a preemptive pardon makes sense... it would seem defensive and unnecessary."
Biden criticized efforts to undermine the January 6 committee's work by perpetrators of the Capitol attack, stating it aimed to "rewrite history" for partisan gain.
