Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 President Trump has issued a sweeping pardon of his allies related to the 2020 presidential election and the effort to falsely claim Trump won. The pardon names numerous Trump campaign attorneys and people who met 5 years ago when they tried to create alternate electoral slates. NPR's Miles Parks reports.

0:18 The document pardons all those associated with a plot to make false electoral slates that could have potentially interfered with the presidential certification on January 6th, 2021. It names Trump campaign attorneys Ruda Giuliani, Kenneth Chesbro, Mark Meadows, and John Eastman, as well as dozens of other people who met, often in secret, to sign documents claiming they were legitimate electors in states actually won by Joe Biden. The pardons are essentially symbolic, as none of the people pardoned have been charged with federal crimes. Some are charged in their individual states, but the pardon has no impact on those cases.
