Original Case
DOJ's November 9, 2022 release reported his conspiracy guilty plea and said he awaited sentencing. The prosecution concerned removal of emissions controls and alteration of monitoring devices on at least 37 vehicles. DOJ's later clemency table supplies his February 10, 2023 sentence: five years' probation and a $6,000 fine. These earlier proceedings remain part of his record after clemency.
Clemency
Trump granted a full and unconditional pardon on October 13, 2026. The signed warrant identifies United States v. Fleming, 3:22-CR-46.
