President Donald Trump pardons six people convicted in federal emissions tampering cases and posts the announcement on Truth Social.Trump says the prosecutions were "weaponization and stupidity" by the Biden Administration, provides no names for the clemency recipients and frames the move as part of a wider rollback of enforcement.The Justice Department earlier directed prosecutors to drop cases and investigations involving aftermarket defeat devices under the Clean Air Act, with officials citing fairness and resource priorities.A small group of aides including
David Warrington,
Susie Wiles and
Ed Martin coordinates clemency reviews while Trump weighs other petitions such as those from
Sean "Diddy" Combs,
Pras Michel and
Jho Low.
