The US president said the move to pardon the former mayor of New York and others would end “a grave national injustice”.

Donald Trump has pardoned his former personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and others accused of trying to overturn the result of the 2020 election.

The president’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows was also pardoned, alongside conservative attorneys Sidney Powell and John Eastman, a Justice Department official revealed.

Ed Martin, the government‘s pardon attorney, posted a signed proclamation of the “full, complete, and unconditional” pardon on social media.

The pardon explicitly does not extend to Mr Trump, according to the proclamation.

Presidential pardons only apply to federal crimes, and none of those pardoned were charged in federal cases.
