Original Case
DOJ's November 9, 2022 release reported his conspiracy guilty plea. Prosecutors said the owners removed pollution-control equipment and altered diagnostic monitoring on at least 37 vehicles during July 2019–September 2020. DOJ's clemency table records his October 7, 2022 sentence separately from the release date. The guilty plea and sentence remain part of this history following clemency.
Clemency
Trump granted a full and unconditional pardon on October 13, 2026. The signed warrant identifies United States v. Czubak, 3:22-CR-8.
