Presidential pardon. Trump Pardons Cheyenne Diesel Delete Mechanic Troy Lake.
President Donald Trump pardoned Troy Lake on Friday. The 65-year-old Wyoming diesel mechanic spent seven months in federal prison for tweaking and removing emissions systems on ailing engines. When he got the news, he wept.
What a story out of Wyoming!
“Calling to tell him tonight that he’d been pardoned by President Trump was a truly joyous moment, and I am grateful to President Trump for standing up for those wronged by the Biden administration’s weaponization against working Americans,” said Lummis in a Friday text statement sent via her senior communications adviser.
That was a reference to the fact that, though the Lakes’ shop was raided by EPA investigators in 2018 under the first Trump administration, the case did not turn into a criminal prosecution until Biden’s presidency.
She said she’s grateful for the pardon, and said Lake was targeted “simply for keeping diesel engines in school buses, ambulances, and fire trucks running in our tough Western weather.”
This case, said Lummis “is yet another example of how federal agencies have been weaponized by Democrat administrations against hardworking Americans. I’ll continue fighting to ensure this kind of government abuse never happens again.”
