Trump Pardons Key Figures Involved in Efforts to Overturn 2020 Election
President Donald Trump pardoned key figures allegedly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Boris Epshteyn, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, and 72 other individuals. These pardons covered those allegedly associated with arranging an alternate slate of electors and exposing voting fraud. The pardons have deprived fraud victims of millions in restitution, according to lawyers. Four recipients pleaded guilty in a Georgia case. The pardon document claims to end a 'national injustice' from the 2020 election and promotes reconciliation, but it explicitly states that it does not apply in certain contexts. The pardon explicitly excludes the President of the United States, Donald Trump.
