President Donald Trump granted pardons to 11 individuals, among them several convicted under the Clean Air Act for tampering with vehicle emissions systems. He claimed that six of those recipients had been unfairly targeted by the previous administration. The individuals had manufactured or installed devices that disabled pollution-control hardware on cars and trucks. Those pardoned include Joshua Davis, Matt Geouge, Jonathan Achtemeier, Tim Clancy, and brothers Ryan and Wade Lalone. Trump’s use of his clemency power continues a pattern of personally selecting pardon recipients and criticizing federal law enforcement. The move highlights the administration’s stance on environmental enforcement and the politicization of the Justice Department.
