Trump pardons 11, most for violating Clean Air Act 04-Jul 08:58

U.S. President Donald Trump pardoned 11 people on Friday, a ​White House official said, all ‌but two of whom had been convicted of violating the Clean ​Air Act by modifying or ​disabling emissions controls on trucks.

Trump ⁠posted on Truth Social about ​six of the men, who ​he said had been prosecuted under President Joe Biden's administration for "fixing their car."

His ​administration in February repealed a scientific ​finding that greenhouse gas emissions endanger human ‌health, ⁠and eliminated federal tailpipe emissions standards for cars and trucks.

Trump's Friday pardons also included Adam ​Kinan, vice ​chairman ⁠of the Staffing Advisory Group, who had been ​sentenced to prison in ​2006 ⁠with business partner and Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff for wire fraud.
