WASHINGTON ― Trevor Milton, founder of Nikola Corp., said he received a full and unconditional pardon on Thursday from President Donald Trump for his 2022 conviction of federal crimes related to defrauding investors.
Milton, who was represented in his case by Attorney General Pam Bondi’s brother, said Trump personally called him to deliver the news of the pardon.
“I am free. The prosecutors can no longer hurt me. They can’t destroy my family. They can’t rip everything away from me. They can’t ruin my life, ” Milton said in a video posted on X announcing his pardon. “It is done. It’s over.”
