Overview
- U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin posted the proclamation on X, saying Trump signed it Nov. 7 and publicly listing about 77 recipients.
- The clemency covers conduct related to creating, submitting or advocating proposed elector slates and to efforts claiming voting fraud in the 2020 election.
- Recipients include Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, Jenna Ellis, Boris Epshteyn and Jeffrey Clark.
- None of those named currently face federal charges, making the pardons largely symbolic now while preventing future federal prosecutions for the covered conduct.
- The proclamation excludes Trump and has no effect on ongoing state cases in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin, which the White House defended as unjust prosecutions.
