The individuals listed in the pardon proclamation, which Martin posted on X late Sunday, include high-profile figures like Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and the president’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and others.

 

“This proclamation ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American people following the 2020 Presidential Election and continues the process of national reconciliation,” read the document, which gives the date of November 7 in its text, and the president appears to have signed.

 

It includes a “full, complete, and unconditional pardon” for those named, including some of the president’s co-defendants who were charged in Georgia for trying to subvert Trump’s 2020 election defeat.

 

None of the high-profile Republicans receiving pardons are facing federal charges. 

 

None of the Rhode Islanders who were prosecuted by the U.S. Department of Justice for their roles in January 6, appear on the document.
