## Resource

Trump shocks the nation by pardoning 11 individuals, including nine who disabled vehicle emissions controls — a move he frames as freeing Americans from “regulatory persecution” and echoing his recent EPA memo. He also clears Adam Kidan, a former Abramoff associate, and rancher Jack Harvard, showcasing a final-term pattern of using clemency to reward allies and reshape policy through executive power.
