He supported Trump, Trump told reporters.

I didnt know him, but he liked him.

They got him and I said, Thats unfair.

There are many people like that.

They support Trump and they went after him.

Milton was the founder and CEO of Nikola, an electric- and hydrogen-powered truck company that went bankrupt.

He had been free on bail at the time of the pardon.

Now, Milton no longer needs to pay restitution to shareholders.

Milton made false claims regarding nearly all aspects of Nikolas business,the Justice Department saidwhen he was sentenced.

Milton celebrated the pardon ina videoposted to Instagram.

It is no wonder why trust and confidence in the Justice Department has eroded to nothing …

I saw firsthand the tactics they use to guarantee convictions.

Miltons lawyer is Brad Bondi, whose sister is Attorney General Pam Bondi.

And hes a good person.
