President Trump pardoned his former personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, and a slate of other key figures charged in connection with their efforts to overturn the 2020 election, according to a U.S. pardon attorney.
Ed Martin, the government’s pardon attorney, posted an proclamation late Sunday night that listed dozens of individuals granted pardons “for certain offenses related to the 2020 presidential election.”
“This proclamation ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American people following the 2020 Presidential Election and continues the process of national reconciliation,” the proclamation read.
The list included several high-profile individuals connected to the effort to overturn the 2020 election: Mark Meadows, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, Jenna Ellis, Boris Epshteyn and others.
The pardon specifies that it “does not apply to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.”
The text indicates that the pardon was signed on Nov. 7.
