US EditionTrump pardons Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and others accused of seeking to overturn his 2020 election loss
Trump granted full pardons to 77 allies, protecting them from federal charges tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, while state prosecutions continue.
- On Nov. 7, President Donald Trump issued a proclamation granting pardons tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, posted online late Sunday by Ed Martin, the Justice Department pardon attorney.
- The proclamation described the pardons as correcting a "grave national injustice" and continuing reconciliation, while aiming to shield allies and downplay Trump’s role in the January 6, 2021 attack on Congress.
- Among those listed were Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Jeffrey Clark, Jenna Ellis, and so-called fake electors, none facing federal charges.
- Because pardons cover only federal crimes, state prosecutors now face ongoing cases while Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee orders a conflict prosecutor by November 14, 2025, or dismissal follows.
- The Sunday action follows Trump’s recent clemency spree after the Jan. 6 pardons; critics and legal analysts called the November 9 proclamation legally weak and noted it promotes stolen-election claims.
