President Donald Trump has pardoned dozens of allies accused of efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, including former attorney Rudy Giuliani, ex–White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and several “false electors” who attempted to certify alternate election results.

The pardon document, dated November 7, declared that it “ends a grave national injustice” and aims to promote “national reconciliation.” It notably does not apply to Trump himself, avoiding a potential constitutional question about self-pardons.
The move comes after the Justice Department dropped federal charges tied to Trump’s alleged election interference earlier this year, though state-level prosecutions continue in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Michigan.

Thank you: @POTUS for allowing me, as U.S. Pardon Attorney, to work with @WhiteHouse, along with @AGPamBondi, @DAGToddBlanche & SG John Sauer, to achieve your intent—let their healing begin. #Federalist74 ⚖️ pic.twitter.com/rDOtgpapCB
Giuliani, disbarred and bankrupt following defamation rulings, and Meadows, facing state charges, are among the most prominent recipients.
The White House has framed the pardons as part of Trump’s broader effort to “end political persecution” stemming from post-2020 investigations.
