Trump pardons 2 auto workers on stage during rally in Alaska
President Trump granted onstage pardons to two Alaska auto shop owners who pleaded guilty to violating the Clean Air Act during a rally Tuesday — an unusually public use of the president's clemency power.
ABC News
What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on Trump using the Alaska rally to issue pardons to two people tied to an auto shop and on the Clean Air Act violations as the basis for that coverage. NBC News and CBS News foreground the pardons themselves, while The Hill’s later item specifies the men as diesel mechanics and The Guardian US does not mention the pardons in the headline at all, instead using Alaska only as a stop on Trump’s wider campaign travel. PBS NewsHour and ABC News frame the event mainly as campaign coverage.
