Summary
President Trump just pardoned ten people wrongfully prosecuted for tweaking their cars’ emissions systems — calling the prosecutions “weaponization and stupidity” — and he’s not stopping there: the Justice Department is now telling prosecutors to drop similar cases nationwide. Among those freed: Ryan and Wade Lalone, Matt Geouge, Tim Clancy, and Mac Spurlock — plus four more confirmed by the White House — all targeted for environmental violations they say were unfairly weaponized. Their lawyers hailed the move as justice, crediting Trump’s personal experience with prosecutorial overreach. This isn’t a one-off — Trump previously pardoned a mechanic for disabling emissions gear, signaling a major federal shift in how these cases are treated.
