Trump Issues Sweeping Pardons for 2020 Election Allies, Including Giuliani and Meadows

Unconditional federal clemency covers conduct tied to alternate elector slates with state prosecutions unaffected.

Overview

  • An undated presidential proclamation grants a full, complete and unconditional pardon for conduct related to the creation, submission or advocacy of alternate 2020 elector slates and related election-challenge activity.
  • The document explicitly excludes President Donald J. Trump from its coverage.
  • Roughly 77 people were named, including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, Boris Epshteyn, Christina Bobb and Turning Point USA executive Tyler Bowyer.
  • The White House action applies only to federal offenses, leaving ongoing or potential state cases in places such as Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin and Nevada intact.
  • Pardon attorney Ed Martin posted the list late Sunday on X, extending Trump’s recent pattern of clemency that earlier included mass pardons for January 6 defendants.
