Overview
- The signed document dated Nov. 7 was posted late Sunday by U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin and lists 77 recipients.
- Recipients include Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, Mark Meadows, Boris Epshteyn and Jeffrey Clark, along with GOP activists who served as alternate electors.
- The proclamation offers a “full, complete, and unconditional” pardon for conduct related to creating, submitting or advocating alternate slates of electors and for efforts to “expose voting fraud” in 2020.
- The text specifies that it does not apply to President Trump and, under law, cannot affect state or local cases.
- State prosecutions and prior pleas in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin and Nevada remain in place, while the order forecloses future federal cases covering the same conduct.
