President Donald Trump has pardoned his former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, his former chief of staff Mark Meadows, and others accused of backing Republican efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, in a move seen as a major concession by the outgoing president ahead of his departure from office on January 20.
