Trump announces pardons for pollution violators prosecuted for "fixing their car" ("Rolling coal")

[orangecrush]

President Trump on Friday announced pardons for six people whom he said had been wrongfully prosecuted for "fixing their car" in what he called an act of "weaponization and stupidity" by federal prosecutors.

"I AM SETTING THEM ALL FREE, RIGHT NOW!," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

The White House did not immediately provide a list of the names of the six defendants pardoned, but lawyer Stewart Cables and lobbyist Jeff Daugherty, who are representing five of the six defendants, identified them to CBS News. They said Ryan and Wade Lalone, Matt Geouge, Tim Clancy and Mac Spurlock received presidential pardons.

Earlier on Friday, CBS News was the first to report that Mr. Trump planned to pardon defendants who were prosecuted for tampering with air pollution control equipment in vehicles, in violation of the Clean Air Act.

......

The pardons come after Mr. Trump last fall granted clemency to Troy Lake, a Wyoming mechanic who served seven months in prison for violating federal emissions laws for disabling air pollution-control equipment on diesel engines.
