Donald Trump has pardoned Rudy Giuliani and several of his allies who were involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Giuliani, a former New York City mayor, was a key supporter of Trump's unfounded claims of election fraud, which were dismissed by courts. He faced a $148 million defamation lawsuit from two Georgia election workers affected by his claims. Other pardoned individuals include Trump's former chief of staff Mark Meadows and attorney Sidney Powell, who promoted conspiracy theories about the election. The pardons also cover Republicans who acted as fake electors for Trump. Although these individuals were not charged with federal crimes related to the election, the pardons reflect Trump's ongoing narrative of a stolen election. This move follows previous pardons Trump issued for supporters involved in the January 6 Capitol riot.
