Trevor Milton, the founder of Nikola Motors, was pardoned by President Trump following his convictions for defrauding investors regarding the company's electric trucks. Milton's misrepresentation included claims of developing the Nikola One truck from the ground up and staging a deceptive video to show the truck in action. His fraudulent actions led Nikola to face serious scrutiny, culminating in his resignation and the company filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this year. Milton maintains his innocence and expresses relief following the pardon, which aligns with other controversial pardons granted by Trump.
"I am free," Milton said in a video posted on X. "The prosecutors can no longer hurt me."
