U.S. President Donald Trump has pardoned several figures accused of trying to overturn his 2020 election loss, including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Jeffrey Clark and Sidney Powell, a Justice Department official said.
A proclamation signed by Trump on Friday said the decision was meant to end “a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American people following the 2020 presidential election” and to “continue the process of national reconciliation.”
The document, dated 7 November, was posted on X by Ed Martin, who oversees the Justice Department’s weaponisation group. The White House has not issued a separate statement on the matter.
The pardons cover several figures who were investigated or charged in connection with post-election activities. Giuliani served as Trump’s lawyer, Meadows was chief of staff, Clark held a senior post at the Justice Department, and Powell filed lawsuits contesting election results in several states.
The move marks one of Trump’s most sweeping acts of clemency since returning to office, coming as his administration continues to revisit prosecutions and inquiries stemming from the 2020 vote.
