- Ed Martin announced Trump's election-subversion pardons via social media — At 7:54 PM on November 9, 2025, Ed Martin, Trump's clemency czar and U.S. Pardon Attorney, posted the pardon proclamation listing all 77 names to X/Twitter. The announcement was deliberately timed to coincide with Senate negotiations on ending a 40-day government shutdown, ensuring that news coverage focused on shutdown resolution rather than the pardons. The timing was characterized as "tactical burial" to minimize public attention and scrutiny.
