Trump Pardons People Convicted of Emissions Violations, Including a Major Donor
- President Trump has pardoned a group of people convicted of federal emissions crimes — mostly for disabling or selling devices that defeat vehicles' pollution controls — casting the prosecutions as government overreach.
- Among those granted clemency was Adam Kidan, a major Republican donor with a separate old fraud conviction, drawing criticism from opponents even as the president acted within his broad constitutional power.
