WATCH:
11President Donald Trump has granted a wide-ranging pardon to dozens of individuals linked to efforts to dispute the outcome of the 2020 election, according to U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin.
The sweeping clemency includes well-known allies such as Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Boris Epshteyn, John Eastman, and Mark Meadows, along with 72 others accused of working to challenge the election’s results.
Trump reportedly signed the pardon on Friday, extending protection to all of his co-defendants in the Georgia prosecution that alleged a coordinated scheme to overturn the state’s vote tally.
Four individuals who accepted plea deals in the Georgia case were among those covered by the new measure.
“This proclamation ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American people following the 2020 Presidential Election and continues the process of national reconciliation,” the pardon reads.
However, the document is clear about one limitation. “This pardon does not apply to the president of the United States,” it states, leaving Trump himself outside the scope of the clemency order.

After eleven long years, the mystery surrounding the whereabouts of fallen IDF officer Hadar Goldin, Hy”d, has finally come to an end — thanks to what security sources are calling “the golden piece of intelligence” that shattered Hamas’s resistance and forced the terror organization to return his remains to Israel.
According to a report that aired overnight on Channel 12 News, Israeli intelligence services succeeded in reaching an individual who knew the precise location of Goldin’s burial site in Rafah. This breakthrough, achieved after a lengthy and complex intelligence-gathering operation combined with on-the-ground efforts by IDF combat units, left Hamas with no room to maneuver. Realizing that Israel had pinpointed the site, Hamas understood it could no longer conceal the truth or delay his return.
Hadar Goldin had been held deep within a network of tunnels in Rafah, known to the IDF as the “White Sparrow” system. For months, Division 162, under the command of Brigadier General Itzik Cohen, fought intense battles in the area. Soldiers operated just a few dozen meters from the spot where Goldin was hidden, drilling and digging through tunnels filled with armed terrorists. Despite their relentless efforts, they were unable to find him at the time. Brig. Gen. Cohen, who had once personally commanded Hadar, finally saw the mission come full circle with the discovery and repatriation of his soldier’s remains.
Channel 12 further reported that the final stages of the recovery were marked by intense diplomatic pressure. Turkish officials had urged Hamas not to yield to Israeli demands and to refuse the transfer until the safe evacuation of Hamas operatives trapped in Rafah’s tunnels could be guaranteed. However, the United States exerted counterpressure on Hamas, insisting on the return of the fallen Israeli officer. Ultimately, American influence prevailed, and under the weight of both diplomatic and military circumstances, Hamas relented.
Yesterday, Hadar Goldin’s comrades stood solemnly as his remains crossed back into Israeli territory, bringing closure to a national saga that had spanned more than a decade. What began as a tragedy in the tunnels of Rafah has now concluded with his long-awaited return to a Jewish burial — a moment of bittersweet vindication for his family, comrades, and an entire nation that never stopped searching.

During an appearance on CBS’s Face the Nation Sunday, New Jersey Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill accused the Republican Party of serving the interests of only one person—President Donald Trump—saying that all of their current actions center on him rather than the American public.
“When you have the Republicans that have the presidency, they have the majority in the Senate, they have the majority in the House. They’ve even, many would say— including myself, taken over the court system. Then they have a responsibility to open up this government,” Sherrill said.
She argued that the Republican-led government continues to harm ordinary Americans through a series of misguided policies. “We see again and again these Republican attacks on everything from health care. Look, if if they don’t fund the Affordable Care Act, costs are going to go up by 175% for people here in New Jersey, at already high levels. That is going to kick so many people off health care that’s on top of the huge Medicare cuts that we’re seeing in the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,’ on top of the tariff cuts that are raising grocery prices everywhere, on top of the fight he’s in now, which is raising gas prices. So again and again, we’re seeing the Trump administration punishing people, and these Republicans have got to come to the table, and they’ve got to start really working for the American people.”
Sherrill said that during her campaign, she heard frustration from voters who are desperate for relief from rising costs and political gridlock. “As I was talking to people across the state, thousands of people, they wanted to see an agenda to get their costs down, and something that was going to take place quickly.”
She also pointed to specific infrastructure and health initiatives as examples of how GOP policies have hurt her state. “They know that the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ is going to take away their health care. They know that attacks on the Gateway Tunnel Project are going to raise costs here and really cut into job opportunities. So they want to know that whoever is governing is going to be focused on governing for them, not a party of one like Donald Trump.”
