Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the NIH, thanked outgoing President Joe Biden for preemptively pardoning him ahead of a potential criminal investigation during the Trump administration, but emphasized that he has not committed any crimes.
"I really truly appreciate the action President Biden has taken today on my behalf. Let me be perfectly clear, Jon, I have committed no crime, you know that, and there are no possible grounds for any allegation or threat of criminal investigation or prosecution of me," Fauci told ABC News journalist Jonathan Karl.
