President Trump has issued pardons to 11 more people, including nine who faced criminal charges for violating the Clean Air Act by tampering with emissions monitoring systems on vehicles. Trump also pardoned Adam Kidan, a former business partner of the disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Kidan pleaded guilty in 2005 to fraud and conspiracy related to the purchase of a fleet of gambling boats. His pardon came just months after he co-hosted a fundraiser at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort for a Long Island Republican congressional candidate.
