Rudy Giuliani has been at the center of renewed legal and political developments in 2025, culminating in a presidential pardon by former President Donald Trump in November 2025. The pardons extended to Giuliani and dozens of others connected to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, though the moves largely affect federal matters and do not erase state-level charges or investigations that had previously targeted these individuals. Giuliani has faced disbarment proceedings in New York and Washington, D.C., and has been subject to multiple lawsuits and ongoing legal scrutiny related to his actions around the 2020 election and the January 6 Capitol riot.
