Trump Campaigns for Republicans, Issues Pardons for Clean Air Act Violators
What happened
Donald Trump campaigned for Republicans during the midterms, offering voters financial rewards such as a $5,000 "Trump Dividend" and $500 Obamacare "refund" checks if Republicans retained control of Congress. During this campaign, he issued pardons to Zachary Czubak and Patrick Fleming, who had pleaded guilty to modifying diesel vehicles in violation of the Clean Air Act. Top Republican super political action committees also cut off financial support for two Republican House members seeking reelection.
