Trump Grants Pardons for Emissions Defiers | New York City News
Description
President Trump just unleashed a wave of pardons for six individuals he calls victims of “weaponization and stupidity,” freeing them from federal prosecution over tampering with vehicle emissions equipment — a move that echoes his past clemency for a mechanic in a similar case. Lawyers for five of the pardoned, including Ryan and Wade Lalone, Matt Geouge, Tim Clancy, and Mac Spurlock, hailed the decision with gratitude, hinting Trump’s own legal battles fueled his intervention. Four more received clemency, three tied to pollution violations, as the Justice Department simultaneously halts all active cases on aftermarket emissions bypass devices — signaling a major federal pivot on environmental enforcement.
