Trump pardons Giuliani and other individuals involved in overturning the 2020 election results
Giuliani was Trump's former lawyer and close friend, and one of the main figures who tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election. In that election, Trump lost to Biden. In the following weeks, Mr. Giuliani made numerous statements claiming that the election results were "stolen" and that Biden's victory was fraudulent.
Giuliani faces numerous legal issues due to his false and misleading statements during the 2020 election. In 2024, a judge revoked his license to practice law in New York State, stating that he "unfoundedly attacked and undermined the integrity of the American electoral process."
In 2023, a federal jury found Giuliani guilty of defamation, as he defamed two election workers in Georgia and falsely accused them of trying to steal Trump's election victory. These two women claimed they faced an onslaught of abuse and violent threats, and later received $148 million in damages. This verdict prompted Giuliani to file for bankruptcy, but his bankruptcy petition was rejected by the court because it considered him to have refused to fulfill his reporting obligations.
Trump's move is essentially telling his current allies to go ahead and do whatever they want, there's no problem. (Still Wayne)
