President Trump issued pardons to more than 70 people tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including alleged alternate electors, Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows. The Nov. 7 document, posted on social media by Justice Department attorney Ed Martin and confirmed by the White House, declares it ends a 'grave national injustice' and advances 'national reconciliation.' Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the recipients were persecuted for challenging an election. The pardon does not cover Trump and cannot reach state prosecutions, which continue in several states amid a Michigan dismissal and other procedural and appellate holdups.
