President Donald Trump announced that he signed pardons for six people who he argued were persecuted by the Biden Administration for violating clean-air and emissions laws.
Details of the Pardons
Trump did not identify those he said had been pardoned or offer more precise details on the allegations they faced. The president met with senior officials earlier to discuss the slate of new pardons, which relate to people who have been convicted of violating the Clean Air Act.
The Justice Department had ordered federal prosecutors to drop criminal investigations and abandon pending cases related to defeat devices, which are software used to bypass emissions controls.
