President Trump pardoned Nikola founder Trevor Milton, who had been convicted of fraud in federal court for what prosecutors said were his lies to investors about his zero-emissions trucks.
Milton said in a video posted to social media Thursday that he received a call from Trump, who spoke about "how much of an injustice this all was, done by the same offices that harassed and prosecuted him."
"The greatest comeback story in America is about to happen," added Milton. The White House on Friday confirmed that the pardon had been granted.
米尔顿补充说：“美国最伟大的卷土重来故事即将发生。”白宫周五证实赦免已获批准。
A federal jury in Manhattan convicted Milton in 2022 of one count of securities fraud and two counts of wire fraud. During the trial, prosecutors portrayed Milton as a con man who duped investors, including in podcasts and on social media, about the company's sales and the capabilities of its vehicles. In one instance, prosecutors said, he created a video of what appeared to be a driving truck driving -- by rolling an inoperable prototype down a hill.
Milton maintained his innocence and said he had acted in good faith, accusing prosecutors of cherry-picking his public statements to build their case.
米尔顿坚称自己无罪，并说他是本着诚意行事的，他指责检察官精心挑选他的公开声明来证实自己的观点。
He was sentenced to four years in prison but remained out on bond while he appealed his conviction.
他被判处四年徒刑，但在对定罪提出上诉时仍被保释。
Brad Bondi, a lawyer for Milton, didn't respond to a request for comment. Brad Bondi is the brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi.
米尔顿的律师布拉德·邦迪没有回应置评请求。布拉德·邦迪是司法部长帕姆·邦迪的兄弟。
Campaign finance records show that Milton and his wife donated more than $1.8 million to a Trump fundraising committee in October.
竞选财务记录显示，米尔顿和他的妻子在10月份向特朗普筹款委员会捐赠了超过180万美元。
Milton, 42 years old, founded Nikola in his basement in 2015. He took it public in 2020 at a valuation of $3.3 billion. He resigned from the company later that year after a short seller report alleged he made misrepresentations about the status of the company's vehicles and the production of hydrogen fuel needed to run them.
Nikola, whose market value briefly eclipsed that of automaker Ford before the fraud case against Milton, filed for bankruptcy last month, as it struggled with high costs and its efforts to convince the trucking industry to abandon diesel engines.
Milton has sold roughly $400 million in stock in Nikola, which delisted its shares from the Nasdaq a few days ago. Two weeks ago, federal prosecutors asked the judge from Milton's criminal case to order him to pay back nearly $661 million to shareholders.
Trump has issued a raft of pardons since taking office, and has vowed to crack down on what he has described as the weaponization of the justice system. Trump was twice indicted by the Justice Department after his first term and separately convicted of falsifying records in state court in New York. Both federal cases have been dismissed, and Trump is appealing the state conviction.
Earlier this week, Trump pardoned Devon Archer, the former Hunter Biden business partner who gave congressional testimony about their business dealings. Milton, Archer and Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, whom Trump also pardoned, were all prosecuted by the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan. The Justice Department has also asked a judge to drop a bribery case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who was charged by the same office.

特朗普总统赦免了尼古拉创始人特雷弗·米尔顿，他在联邦法院被判犯有欺诈罪，因为检察官称他在零排放卡车上向投资者撒谎。

米尔顿在周四发布到社交媒体的视频中说，他接到了特朗普的电话，他谈到 “骚扰和起诉他的同一个办公室造成了多大的不公正待遇。”

曼哈顿联邦陪审团于2022年裁定米尔顿犯有一项证券欺诈罪和两项电汇欺诈罪。在审判期间，检察官将米尔顿描绘成一个骗子，他在播客和社交媒体等渠道上欺骗了投资者，内容涉及公司的销售和汽车的性能。检察官说，有一次，他制作了一段视频，讲述了一辆看似正在驾驶的卡车在行驶——将一辆无法运行的原型车滚下山坡。

现年42岁的米尔顿于2015年在地下室创立了尼古拉。他在2020年将其上市，估值为33亿美元。他于当年晚些时候辞去了公司的职务，此前一份卖空报告称他对该公司车辆的状况以及运行这些车辆所需的氢燃料的生产作了虚假陈述。
Nikola, whose market value briefly eclipsed that of automaker Ford before the fraud case against Milton, filed for bankruptcy last month, as it struggled with high costs and its efforts to convince the trucking industry to abandon diesel engines.
在针对米尔顿的欺诈案之前，尼古拉的市值短暂超过了汽车制造商福特的市值，上个月申请破产，原因是该公司在高成本方面苦苦挣扎，努力说服卡车运输业放弃柴油发动机。
Milton has sold roughly $400 million in stock in Nikola, which delisted its shares from the Nasdaq a few days ago. Two weeks ago, federal prosecutors asked the judge from Milton's criminal case to order him to pay back nearly $661 million to shareholders.
米尔顿已经出售了尼古拉约4亿美元的股票，该公司几天前将其股票从纳斯达克退市。两周前，联邦检察官要求米尔顿刑事案件的法官命令他向股东偿还近6.61亿美元。

特朗普自上任以来已经发布了大量赦免令，并发誓要打击他所说的司法系统的武器化。特朗普在第一个任期后两次被司法部起诉，并分别因伪造记录在纽约州法院被定罪。两起联邦案件均已被驳回，特朗普正在对该州的定罪提出上诉。

本周早些时候，特朗普赦免了前亨特·拜登商业伙伴德文·阿彻，他在国会就他们的商业往来作证。米尔顿、阿切尔和丝绸之路创始人罗斯·乌尔布里希特都被曼哈顿的美国检察官办公室起诉，特朗普也赦免了他们。司法部还要求法官撤销对纽约市市长埃里克·亚当斯的贿赂案，该案被同一办公室起诉。
