United States President Donald Trump issued a pardon in the early hours of this month (Washington time) for 77 people who participated in attempts to reverse the results of the 2020 elections, in which Joe Biden clearly won, but Trump never acknowledged this.
Follow without doing it. The most notable pardon is that of New York’s Exalcalde and former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani. This was announced in X Ed Martin, abogado de la Casa Blanca in charge of the pardon. Martin, who in his personal account on this social network defines himself, among other things, as “starting the political persecution of Trump,” published a four-page document, “a declaration ending a grave national injustice committed against the American population after the 2020 elections.” He also described it as “another step in the national reconciliation process.”
The document signed by the President of the United States last month continues: “You, Donald J. Trump, do hereby grant a total, complete, and unconditional pardon to all citizens of the United States for conduct relating to the consultation, creation, organization, implementation, offering, support, voting, activities, or defense of any slate of presidential electors…in connection with the 2020 presidential election.”
This is a symbolic pardon, meaning that none of those included are accused of federal crimes, and so the president has no power to overlook them. To break the news, Martin responded to a message he said in X that said: “We will not abandon anyone MAGA (Make America great again(Trump slogan).
In addition to Giuliani, whose former ally promised him the highest civilian distinction in the United States, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the list includes lawyer Sidney Powell, who was the face of Trump’s big lie behind the electoral defeat in the weeks leading up to the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, in front of John Eastman, Kenneth Chesborough, the president’s chief of staff at the time, and Mark Meadows.
It is worth interpreting this gesture, which lacks any legal consequences, as a new expression of the policy of correcting accounts with which Trump returned to the White House. On its first day, Despacho Oval pardoned about 1,600 inmates accused of crimes related to the assault on the Capitol. Since then, he has applied for clemency for collaborators, friends or figures close to him in the MAGA world.
The pardon granted to him this month also comes within the framework of Trump’s efforts to contradict the conclusions of the House of Representatives committee, formed by Democrats and Republicans, which investigated for 18 months between 2021 and 2022 what happened on January 6, the day a crowd of Republican followers attacked him. Capitol to prevent the certification of electoral votes cast by Biden, thus giving him the presidency.
