WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has pardoned his former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani , his former chief of staff Mark Meadows and others accused of backing the Republican's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, a Justice Department official says.

Ed Martin, the government's pardon attorney, posted on social media a signed proclamation of the “full, complete, and unconditional" pardon, which also names Sidney Powell , an attorney who promoted baseless conspiracy theories about a stolen election, and John Eastman , another lawyer who pushed a plan to keep Trump in power. The proclamation, posted online late Sunday, explicitly says the pardon does not apply to Trump.
