Trump Pardons 77 Named Allies Tied to the 2020 Election, Including Giuliani, Meadows and Powell
On the night of November 9, 2025, U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin publicly posted a presidential proclamation: President Trump had signed Proclamation 10989 on November 7, granting pardons for conduct related to the 2020 presidential election and naming 77 people.
The proclamation grants all United States citizens a "full, complete, and unconditional pardon" for conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities, participation in, or advocacy for any slate or proposed slate of presidential electors, whether or not recognized by any state or state official, in connection with the 2020 election, as well as efforts to expose voting fraud and vulnerabilities in that election. It opens by saying the move ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American people following the 2020 election and continues the process of national reconciliation.
Those named include Trump's former personal lawyer Rudolph Giuliani, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, lawyers John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis and Kenneth Chesebro, and also Jeffrey Clark, Boris Epshteyn and Christina Bobb. The proclamation states that the list "includes, but is not limited to" those named, and that the pardon does not apply to President Donald J. Trump himself.
The presidential pardon power reaches federal offenses only. The proclamation directs the Attorney General, acting through the Pardon Attorney, to administer the issuance of certificates of pardon to eligible applicants.
