President Donald Trump signed pardons for two Alaska diesel mechanics while onstage at a rally in Wasilla on Tuesday night, according to Fox News. The midterm rally featured announcements on infrastructure and energy investments in the state. He brought Zachary Czubak and Patrick Fleming, co-owners of an Anchorage diesel repair shop, onstage to formalize the clemency documents, as seen in a video on X.
The president also referenced an earlier pardon for Mackenzie “Mac” Spurlock, a diesel shop owner based in Wasilla. During the announcement, Trump told the crowd, “I’m giving each one of the three an unconditional pardon.” He argued that the prosecutions were unfair as the men’s work kept trucks running in Alaska’s extreme cold.
