Two diesel mechanics were pardoned and “every single permit that you need” was granted at a Trump rally in Alaska on Tuesday night.
The midterm rally was held in Wasilla, Alaska on October 13th and highlighted energy investments and infrastructure projects in the state.
According to Fox News, co-owners of a diesel repair shop, Zachary Czubak and Patrick Fleming, were brought onstage by Trump to sign clemency documents after they pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate the Clean Air Act in 2022 after offering tune and delete services at their shop.
“I’m giving each one… an unconditional pardon,” Trump said, stating that the men’s services, though technically illegal at the time, were crucial in keeping diesel trucks operating in the extreme cold of Alaska. “What an honor. I love doing this stuff,” he said.
At the same rally, Trump also declared that “every single permit” needed to complete the 800-mile natural gas pipeline has been granted.
“Every single permit that you need, you can start tonight,” Trump told the crowd. “Every single permit that you need has been granted.”
