"Giuliani, a former New York City mayor, was a vocal supporter of Trump's claims about the 2020 US elections being fraudulent, claims found unfounded by courts across the US. He also lost a $148 million (128 million) defamation lawsuit brought by two former election workers from the state of Georgia whose lives were affected by the conspiracies pushed by Giuliani."
"They were charged in state cases for submitting false certificates confirming their legitimacy as electors even though Joe Biden won those states. Ed Martin, the Trump administration's pardon attorney, posted a "signed, complete and unconditional" pardon for the Trump aides, while also mentioning the pardon does not apply to the US president himself. The proclamation described the Trump supporters' prosecution as "a grave national injustice perpetrated on the American people," with the pardons meant to support the process of "national reconciliation.""
President Donald Trump granted federal pardons to several allies who tried to overturn the 2020 election, including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Sidney Powell and John Eastman. Giuliani lost a $148 million defamation suit brought by two former Georgia election workers. Republicans who acted as fake electors in 2020 were also pardoned for submitting false certificates in state cases. Ed Martin posted a "signed, complete and unconditional" pardon, noting it does not apply to the US president. The proclamation called the prosecutions "a grave national injustice perpetrated on the American people" and framed the pardons as promoting "national reconciliation." None of the named allies faced federal election-related charges.
