President Donald Trump pardoned dozens of Republicans tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, part of his bid to recast his loss. The gestures follow his blanket clemency for more than 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants but carry little legal weight, since none faced federal charges and pardons don’t touch state or civil cases. The list includes Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Kenneth Chesebro, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman and Jeffrey Clark, many facing state prosecutions or professional discipline that remain intact, and it sends a signal to those considering future election denials in his favor.
