Trump Issues Sweeping Pardons to 77 Allies Tied to 2020 ‘Fake Electors’ Efforts

The proclamation, dated November 7, was posted by Pardon Attorney Ed Martin on X.

Overview

  • A proclamation posted late Sunday by Pardon Attorney Ed Martin on X lists 77 recipients, including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro and Mark Meadows.
  • The document is dated November 7 and grants “full, complete, and unconditional” pardons, including for several figures charged in Georgia.
  • The language broadly covers any conduct related to creating, submitting or advocating alternate elector slates and efforts to expose alleged fraud in the 2020 election.
  • The proclamation explicitly states that it does not apply to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
  • The pardons apply only to federal offenses, leaving ongoing and potential state prosecutions in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin unaffected.
