Trump Issues Mass Pardons for 2020 Election Challenge Participants

November 14, 2025 – January 29, 2026

The Bottom Line

President Trump pardoned more than 70 people, including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, for trying to change the 2020 election results. He also promised to clear or drop charges for about 1,500 others involved in election challenges and the January 6 Capitol events. This action stops many federal court cases and investigations into his allies and supporters.

Criminal Record

Over 70 named individuals — and potentially others who participated in alternate elector schemes or efforts to challenge 2020 election results — receive full, unconditional pardons. This wipes away federal criminal liability for these activities, meaning anyone charged or convicted for these specific actions can no longer be punished by the federal government. For those already facing prosecution, their cases will effectively end. For those already convicted, the pardon removes the federal conviction from their record for these offenses.
