President Donald Trump granted sweeping pardons to Rudy Giuliani and 76 others involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, labeling it a response to a "grave national injustice" against his allies.
The pardons, described as "full and unconditional," primarily pertain to federal crimes and do not shield recipients from ongoing state-level legal challenges.
Alongside Giuliani, notable figures like Mark Meadows, Sidney Powell, and John Eastman were included, many of whom faced accusations of trying to illegally influence the electoral process.
Critics swiftly condemned the move as a tacit endorsement of anti-democratic actions and an alarming message regarding election integrity in future cycles.
This latest decision underscores Trump's unwavering commitment to contest the legitimacy of the 2020 election results, further entrenching his narrative among loyal supporters.
The pardons ignited fierce public debate, reflecting the lasting divide over the electoral controversies and the events surrounding the January 6 Capitol riots.
