WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump has pardoned dozens of allies accused of trying to overturn his 2020 election loss, including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Jeffrey Clark and Sidney Powell, a top U.S. Justice Department official said on Monday.

Trump, in a proclamation dated on Friday, said the move would end “a grave national injustice” and “continue the process of national reconciliation,” according to a document posted on X by Ed Martin, who oversees the department’s weaponization group.

The Justice Department had been investigating a plan by Trump and his supporters to submit alternative slates of state electors to reverse President Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election. Trump won a second term defeating Biden in 2024.
