At a Tuesday rally in Wasilla, Alaska, President Trump signed pardons for two co-owners of an Anchorage vehicle repair shop who had been convicted under the Clean Air Act. Left-leaning coverage notes both pleaded guilty in 2022 to tampering with devices that monitor diesel emissions. Right-leaning outlets describe the prosecution as Biden-era targeting, with one saying the pardons were broadened to two other drivers, and another noting an announcement that a natural gas pipeline secured federal permits. The AP excerpt frames the visit as a sign of how competitive Alaska's Senate race may be ahead of the midterms.
