Trump pardons Giuliani, Powell, Chesebro and dozens more involved in 2020 ‘fake electors’ case

President Trump granted pardons for 77 individuals tied to a plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election – including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Chesebro, the White House announced late Sunday night.

The full list of those pardoned, many of whom faced charges related to the 2020 “fake electors” plot, was posted to X just before 11 p.m. by Trump’s “clemency czar” attorney Ed Martin.

Those on the list were allegedly entangled in a scheme to organize alternate slates of electors from battleground states that former President Joe Biden won, including Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan.

Pardons also went to former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows and other 2020 campaign aides who allegedly worked together to submit names of fake electors from the three states to Congress to keep him in office.

John Eastman, Christina Bobb, and Boris Epshtey were also among the dozens of prominent figures pardoned.

“This pardon does not apply to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump,” the line at the end of the statement said.
