WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump has granted pardons to his former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, his former chief of staff Mark Meadows, and several others linked to efforts attempting to reverse the 2020 election results. This action was confirmed by a Justice Department official, who noted the proclamations made by Ed Martin, the government’s pardon attorney. The document, shared on social media, details 'full, complete, and unconditional' pardons for Giuliani, Meadows, conservative attorneys Sidney Powell and John Eastman, and Republicans acting as fake electors in 2020. Notably, the proclamation clarifies that the pardons do not extend to Trump himself. Presidential pardons apply exclusively to federal offenses, and none of the individuals pardoned faced federal charges. Analysts suggest this move supports Trump's narrative of disenfranchisement following the election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden. The White House has not made any immediate comments regarding these pardons. The proclamation refers to the prosecution of those involved in the election schemes as a 'grave national injustice,' positioning the pardons as part of a reconciliation process.
