President Donald Trump Pardons 11 Individuals
U.S. President Donald Trump pardoned 11 people on Friday, according to a White House official. The list includes nine individuals convicted of violating the Clean Air Act by modifying or disabling emissions controls on trucks, and two others with different convictions.
Clean Air Act Violators Pardoned
Trump posted on Truth Social about six of the men, stating they had been prosecuted under President Joe Biden's administration for 'fixing their car.' The administration earlier in February repealed a scientific finding that greenhouse gas emissions endanger human health and eliminated federal tailpipe emissions standards for cars and trucks.
Pardon Includes Former Lobbyist Associate Adam Kidan
The clemency list also includes Adam Kidan, vice chairman of the Staffing Advisory Group. Kidan was sentenced to prison in 2006 alongside Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff for wire fraud. The pardons cover a range of offenses, reflecting Trump's use of executive clemency powers.
