President Donald Trump just dropped a bombshell by pardoning 77 individuals tied to the 2020 election controversy, including none other than Rudy Giuliani.
The New York Post reported that the Department of Justice announced this sweeping move, covering figures like Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Chesebro, all linked to the so-called "fake electors" plot to challenge the 2020 presidential results.
Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and Trump’s legal bulldog, didn’t just question the election results—he went full throttle, alleging voting irregularities in states like Georgia and Arizona after Trump’s defeat.
But standing up came at a brutal cost for Giuliani, whose life took a nosedive with indictments over his role in contesting the election.
He lost his law license in New York and Washington, D.C., saw his bank accounts frozen, and was pushed into bankruptcy as his law practice and security business crumbled.
Finding legal help was like searching for a needle in a haystack, with many attorneys steering clear due to fears of backlash from judges perceived as politically hostile.
Then came the pardon, a lifeline Giuliani didn’t see coming, as he hadn’t even broached the topic with Trump in recent years. “I was surprised. No one can say President Trump can’t keep a secret,” Giuliani quipped, clearly relieved by the turn of events.
The pardon ruling didn’t mince words, stating that state prosecutors overstepped their bounds, a point Giuliani believes opens the door to lawsuits against states like Georgia and Arizona for trampling constitutional rights.
Beyond the election drama, Giuliani tied the pardon to another vindication: The New York Post’s explosive 2020 reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop, which he personally sourced from a Delaware repair shop owner, not some shadowy foreign operative.
That story, revealing emails about Hunter introducing then-Vice President Joe Biden to a Ukrainian energy executive amid questionable dealings, was initially smeared as disinformation and led to the Post’s two-week Twitter ban—a move Giuliani and others call a blatant censorship job by federal officials.
“It sets up a lawsuit for the New York Post. It was a violation of the New York Post’s constitutional rights,” Giuliani declared, framing this as a win for press freedom against overreaching authorities.
Now residing in Palm Beach, Florida, Giuliani marked his exoneration by planning to attend a Veterans Day event on November 11, 2025, alongside military veterans, a fitting nod to resilience.
Despite a rough patch—including a car accident in August 2025 that left him with a broken vertebra—he’s on the mend, walking without a brace, eyeing a return to golf, and rebuilding his finances through podcasting and speaking gigs.
Giuliani’s journey from political heavyweight to pariah and back to pardoned figure isn’t just a personal saga; it’s a stark reminder of how deeply divided our justice system can appear when politics enters the fray. Let’s hope this chapter spurs real dialogue on fairness, not just more partisan mudslinging.
