Deutsche Welle · back to the audit

US President Donald Trump on Friday issued pardons for a total of 11 people, including 9 individuals convicted of violating the Clean Air Act by circumventing emission controls on vehicles. Those pardoned also included a former business partner of disgraced Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff. According to The Associated Press, the White House provided a list which consisted of 11 pardons. Nine of the people on the list faced charges over disabling emissions monitoring systems on vehicles or selling devices that enabled the bypassing of emissions systems. In a post on his Truth Social platform earlier in the day, Trump spoke of granting clemency to six of the men without revealing their identities. Trump said that the men were "persecuted" under President Joe Biden's Administration for "fixing their car."
