当地时间周二晚间，特朗普总统在阿拉斯加州的一场政治集会上，对两名当庭认罪违反《清洁空气法》的阿拉斯加汽车店老板当庭赦免——这是总统动用赦免权的一次罕见公开场合操作。
总统表示，这两名男子——扎卡里·楚巴克和帕特里克·弗莱明——“遭到了错误指控”，并将对二人的指控作为拜登政府时期司法部“恶毒攻击阿拉斯加生活方式”的例证。
根据法庭记录，楚巴克、弗莱明和另一名名为迈克尔·汉祖克的男子共同拥有一家名为“Arm Rippin Toys”的柴油车专修店。联邦检察官称，他们为客户拆除车辆的排放控制系统，收费在1140美元至5445美元之间，手段包括修改车辆物理部件、使诊断系统无法检测到故障，导致车辆排放更多污染物。
三人曾于2022年就共谋违反《清洁空气法》认罪。他们每人被判处五年缓刑、6.6万美元罚款及社区服务。
周二在瓦西拉举行的中期选举前集会上，特朗普将楚巴克和弗莱明请上舞台，并对一名助手喊道：“把赦免令拿来！”
“想想看：他们仅仅因为修了个发动机就要把他们关10年。这有多病态？”总统说道，“现在如果你杀了人，反倒没事。除非凶手是共和党人，那你懂的，就得上电椅，对吧？”
特朗普在讲台签署了赦免令，并将其交给楚巴克和弗莱明。总统举着其中一张赦免令向人群展示时，集会参与者发出阵阵欢呼。
总统表示，他还在“关照”第三个人。他没有透露此人身份，但“Arm Rippin Toys”的第三名合伙人汉祖克已于上月获得赦免。
“当你赦免某人时，人们会说，我不知道这说法是怎么来的，为什么会这么用，但大家都这么说——这意味着你像新生儿的屁股一样干净，”总统说道，“我从来没搞懂，为什么这么说就代表干净？”
楚巴克和弗莱明简短地向人群发表了讲话，弗莱明称针对三人的指控“真的摧毁了我们的生活”。
“我们不是罪犯，我们没想伤害任何人，”他说，“我们想帮助阿拉斯加人，想帮助世界各地拥有柴油卡车和各类车辆的人们。”
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系楚巴克、弗莱明和汉祖克的律师置评。
今年早些时候，特朗普赦免了麦克·斯普洛克，另一名因拆除污染控制装置而被控违反《清洁空气法》的柴油机械师——总统在周二的集会上提到了这起案件。
斯普洛克及其支持者，包括阿拉斯加州共和党参议员丹·沙利文，辩称他所做的发动机改装是为了防止排放系统因阿拉斯加严寒天气而故障。
沙利文在7月为斯普洛克的赦免令鼓掌，称指控是“过于热心的联邦检察官”所为，并主张应修改美国环境保护署的相关规定，以照顾寒冷气候州的情况。周二的集会部分目的是帮助沙利文应对民主党候选人玛丽·佩尔托拉的挑战。
司法部于1月宣布，将“不再基于篡改车载诊断设备的指控，追究《清洁空气法》下的刑事责任”。
在拜登政府时期，官员们采取了不同的立场，在针对“Arm Rippin Toys”案的声明中警告称，拆除排放控制装置“即便仅一辆车，也会导致空气污染大幅增加”。美国环境保护署阿拉斯加刑事调查部门前特别主管斯科特·艾德曾誓言，要“追究那些为了利益而危及人类健康和环境的人的责任”。
特朗普及其政府成员一直在抨击其他环保法规，放宽了燃油经济性标准，并终止了一项为安装启停排放系统的汽车制造商授予积分的EPA政策。
总统还频繁动用赦免权，为政治盟友以及和他一样声称自己遭到不当起诉的人提供宽大处理。
Trump pardons 2 auto workers on stage during rally in Alaska

President Trump during a political rally in the state late Tuesday granted onstage pardons to two Alaska auto shop owners who pleaded guilty to violating the Clean Air Act — an unusually public use of the president’s clemency power.
The president said the two men — Zachary Czubak and Patrick Fleming — were “wrongly charged,” and cast the charges against the two men as an example of how the Biden-era Justice Department “viciously targeted the Alaskan way of life.”
Czubak, Fleming and a third man named Michael Hanzuk owned an auto shop that specialized in diesel vehicles called Arm Rippin Toys, according to court records. Federal prosecutors say they offered to remove the emission control systems in customers’ vehicles for a fee of $1,140 to $5,445, in part by modifying their physical components and preventing their diagnostics systems from noticing a problem, causing the vehicles to spew more pollutants.
All three men pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate the Clean Air Act in 2022. They were each sentenced to five years of probation, $66,000 in fines and community service.
During Tuesday’s pre-midterm election rally in Wasilla, Mr. Trump called Czubak and Fleming onto the stage and said to an aide: “Bring me the pardons!”
“Think of it: They want to put them in jail for 10 years because they fixed an engine. How sick?” the president said. “Now if you murder somebody, no problem. Unless a Republican does the murdering. Then it’s, you know, the electric chair, right?”
Mr. Trump signed the pardons at the podium and handed them to Czubak and Fleming, drawing cheers from rallygoers as the president held one of the pardons up to the crowd.
The president said he was also “taking care of” a third person. He did not name the other person, but the third co-owner of Arm Rippin Toys, Hanzuk, received a pardon last month.
“When you give somebody a pardon, they say that means, and I don’t know how this works and why it’s an expression, but it’s well-used, that means you’re as clean as a newborn baby’s ass,” the president said. “I never understood that. Why is that so clean?”
Czubak and Fleming briefly addressed the crowd, with Fleming saying the charges against the three “really did destroy us.”
“We’re not criminals. We’re not trying to hurt anybody,” he said. “We want to help Alaskans. We want to help people with diesel trucks, with vehicles, across the world.”
CBS News has reached out to Czubak, Fleming and Hanzuk’s attorneys for comment.
Earlier this year, Mr. Trump granted a pardon to Mac Spurlock, another diesel mechanic who was also charged with violating the Clean Air Act by removing pollution control systems — a case that the president mentioned during Tuesday’s rally.
Spurlock and his supporters, including GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska, argue the engine modifications that he performed were necessary to prevent emissions systems from malfunctioning due to Alaska’s frigid weather.
Sullivan applauded Spurlock’s pardon in July, calling the charges the work of “overzealous federal prosecutors” and arguing the Environmental Protection Agency’s rules should be modified to account for cold-weather states. Tuesday’s rally was held in part to help Sullivan fend off a challenge from Democratic candidate Mary Peltola.
The Justice Department announced in January it would “no longer pursue criminal charges under the Clean Air Act based on allegations of tampering with onboard diagnostic devices.”
During the Biden administration, officials took a different tack, warning in a statement on the Arm Rippin Toys charges that cutting out emissions controls “results in a massive increase in air pollution from even a single vehicle.” Scot Adair, former special agent in charge of the EPA’s Criminal Investigation Division in Alaska vowed to “hold accountable those who jeopardize human health and the environment for the sake of profit.”
Mr. Trump and members of his administration have railed against other environmental regulations, relaxing fuel economy standards and ending an EPA policy that gave credits to car manufacturers that installed start-stop emissions systems.
The president has also frequently used his pardon power to grant clemency to political allies and people who — like him — argue they were wrongly prosecuted.
