**President Donald Trump Pardons Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Dozens of Allies Linked to 2020 Election Challenges**
*Nov. 10 (UPI)* — President Donald Trump has issued pardons to Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and dozens of other allies who were accused of attempting to subvert the 2020 election, according to U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin.
The list of 77 individuals pardoned by Trump was published late Sunday on Martin’s personal X account, accompanied by the statement, “No MAGA left behind.” The proclamation signed by Trump was dated Friday.
“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 document declares.
Those pardoned were connected to efforts aimed at overturning the 2020 election results, including participation in what has been referred to as the fake electors scheme. This strategy involved creating false slates of pro-Trump electors in every battleground state that Joe Biden won, including Georgia.
Among those pardoned were four of Trump’s 17 co-defendants involved in the Georgia case concerning this effort. This group includes Kenneth Chesebro, who is alleged to be the architect of the scheme, as well as Sidney Powell, Scott Hall, and Jenna Ellis.
Notably, Trump himself, who was among those charged in Georgia, was not granted a pardon. “This pardon does not apply to the president of the United States,” the document specifies.
Other notable figures granted pardons include Mark Meadows, Trump’s former chief of staff during his first term, and John Eastman, a former Trump adviser.
Previously, on the first day of his second term in office in January, Trump issued pardons and commutations of sentences for more than 1,500 individuals convicted for their participation in the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, including those accused of injuring police officers.
