Washington: US President Donald Trump has pre-emptively pardoned his former lawyer Rudy Giuliani, his former chief of staff Mark Meadows and numerous conservative activists accused of supporting his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Ed Martin, the Trump administration’s pardon attorney, posted on social media a signed proclamation of the “full, complete, and unconditional” pardon, which also names conservative attorneys Sidney Powell and John Eastman. The proclamation explicitly said the pardon did not apply to Trump.
