Trump has granted clemency to nine companies, including LaLone's Diesel Freak LLC, since the start of his second term. A White House spokesperson said the King Charles II example had never been discussed by officials involved in the pardon process. The twin reprieves from President Donald Trump enabled LaLone to clear his name and erase a $750,000 fine for his Michigan trucking-parts shop. (Bloomberg) -- Ryan LaLone received a pardon this month for a conviction tied to tampering with diesel emissions systems. LaLone says that now he has escaped his financial burden, he hopes to reward the employees who stuck around throughout the diesel emissions case.
