Trump signs 11 pardons for individuals ‘persecuted’ by Biden admin: ‘I AM SETTING THEM ALL FREE’
NY Post ^ | 7/03/26 | Emily Goodin, Victor Nava

President Trump signed 11 pardons Friday, including one for the convicted former business partner of infamous lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a White House official told The Post.

Adam Kidan was sentenced to 70 months in prison in 2006 after pleading guilty to conspiracy and fraud charges related to his attempt, along with Abramoff, to purchase SunCruz Casinos for $147.5 million with a counterfeit wire transfer document.

Kidan, an entrepreneur, has since gone on to start multiple staffing companies and has become a major Republican donor.

The bulk of the pardons are for individuals convicted of tampering with emission control systems on cars and trucks, including by selling “defeat devices” and “tuners” to maximize the engine power, in violation of the Clean Air Act.

Trump had teased issuing six pardons to people convicted during the Biden administration for “fixing their car,” earlier Friday on Truth Social.

“It is my Great Honor to have just signed Pardons for six people who were persecuted by the Biden Administration, and were in, or being sent to, prison, for ‘fixing their car,’” the president wrote on Truth Social. “While I know this sounds ridiculous, it is nevertheless a fact, and part of the Weaponization and Stupidity that our Country had to endure during four long years of Sleepy Joe Biden.

He’s probably problematic here but I like the:

“Badges? Badges? We don’t need no stinkin badges!” attitude of Trump’s

So I guess he didn't pardon Diddy.

Trump likely to pardon pollution violators as he privately weighs clemency for Diddy, other high-profile figures: sources

John McCain? The guy who was not in good health, but dragged himself into the senate to be be the deciding vote against getting rid of obummercare, which scams everyone today? The same McCain who on his death bed was spewing invictives against orange man instead of making peace with his family?

John McCain's ghost continues to control Arizona politics, which is why the Maricopa Board of Supervisors (4 to 1 Republican) allowed the cheat in the 2020, 2022, and 2024 elections. Trump said bad things about McCain and therefore we would rather elect democrats than "Orange Man Bad" and his supporters (i.e., Kari Lake).
