Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and others accused of seeking to overturn his 2020 election loss

  • By November 10, 2025, President Donald Trump pardoned dozens tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including alternative state electors, a proclamation posted by Ed Martin, Justice Department Pardon Attorney.
  • The proclamation describes the action as ending a "grave national injustice" and "continues the process of national reconciliation," covering conduct tied to electors and efforts to expose voting fraud.
  • Among those listed are 77 people, including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesebro, Mark Meadows, Boris Epshteyn, and Jeffrey Clark, as posted Sunday night.
  • Presidential clemency covers federal offenses only, leaving state prosecutions intact in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin and Nevada, while President Donald Trump is explicitly excluded from the proclamation.
  • Legal analysts say the pardons block federal cases by future administrations, as legal experts note they would preclude prosecutions and follow earlier Jan. 6 pardons this year.
