US President Donald Trump has pardoned dozens of allies accused of trying to overturn his 2020 election loss, including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Jeffrey Clark and Sidney Powell, a top US Justice Department official said yesterday.
Trump, in a proclamation dated Friday, said the move would end ‘a grave national injustice’ and ‘continue the process of national reconciliation’, according to a document posted on X by Ed Martin, who oversees the department’s weaponisation group.
The Justice Department had been investigating a plan by Trump and his supporters to submit alternative slates of state electors to reverse President Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump won a second term defeating Biden in 2024.
