Summary
Trump shocks the nation by pardoning six men wrongfully prosecuted for fixing their cars, calling the prosecutions “weaponization and stupidity” — and he’s not done: four more are freed, three for similar pollution violations. Lawyers hail him as the only president who’d care about these cases, echoing Trump’s own grievances against “ferocious weaponization.” This follows his prior clemency for a mechanic jailed for disabling diesel emissions, and comes as the Justice Department just dropped all ongoing cases targeting emission-bypass devices.
