据熟悉其计划的消息人士透露，特朗普总统即将赦免一批因排放和清洁空气相关罪名被定罪的人员，目前仍在讨论其他可能的赦免行动，其中包括肖恩·“迪迪”·康姆斯或其他几位知名人士。
两位消息人士称，总统原定于周五下午就赦免议题召开会议，并计划根据顾问的建议做出决定。
近几周来，为身陷法律困境的人士游说赦免的活动愈演愈烈。
但其中一位消息人士表示，康姆斯和其他知名人物的案件预计不会出现在赦免团队提交的建议名单中。
康姆斯因去年被判两项卖淫交易运输罪名，目前正在新泽西州迪克斯堡的联邦监狱服刑四年多。他此前在针对他的更严重的性交易和敲诈勒索共谋指控中被判无罪。
一位消息人士称，特朗普总统在周五上午尚未确定最终获得赦免的人数。他一直在私下讨论是否批准包括康姆斯在内的赦免请求。
“特朗普总统是所有赦免相关行动的最终决策者，”一位白宫官员在发给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的声明中表示。
总统今年1月告诉《纽约时报》，康姆斯曾写信向他请求赦免，但他当时表示并未考虑该请求。
另一位寻求赦免的人士是嘻哈组合难民营（The Fugees）的格莱美奖得主普拉卡兹雷尔·“普拉斯”·米歇尔。米歇尔目前正在联邦监狱服刑14年，他此前被判有罪，罪名是与马来西亚 financier 刘特佐（Jho Low）合谋策划一系列外国游说活动，旨在影响两位美国总统任期内的美国政府政策。
美国方面还指控刘特佐从马来西亚1MDB主权财富基金挪用45亿美元。多位熟悉此事的消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，刘特佐也在寻求赦免。
一位消息人士称，特朗普尚未决定是否应赦免米歇尔或刘特佐。
赦免团队周五提交的名单预计将仅涉及《清洁空气法》相关的违规行为。
去年，特朗普赦免了怀俄明州机械师特洛伊·莱克，他因在柴油发动机上禁用空气污染控制设备违反联邦排放法而服刑七个月。
今年早些时候，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻率先报道称，司法部已命令联邦检察官撤销所有针对莱克这类人员的剩余起诉和调查，这些人员与用于篡改柴油车污染控制系统的非法“失效装置”销售有关。
时任副检察长托德·布兰奇发布的这项指令，标志着自特朗普2025年就职以来，司法部首次正式采取措施缩减环境刑事执法力度。布兰奇当时表示，他驳回这些案件是为了“确保根据法律进行一致且公平的起诉，同时确保司法部资源得到最佳利用”。

Trump likely to pardon pollution violators as he privately weighs clemency for Diddy, other high-profile figures: sources
July 3, 2026 / 11:14 AM EDT / CBS News
President Trump is poised to pardon a slate of people convicted of emissions and clean air-related violations, and is still discussing other potential acts of clemency, including for Sean “Diddy” Combs or several other well-known figures, according to sources familiar with his plans.
The president was scheduled to have a meeting Friday afternoon on the topic of pardons and planned to decide based on recommendations from advisers, two of the sources said.
Lobbying for pardons for people in legal trouble has reached a fever pitch in recent weeks.
But neither Combs nor other high-profile cases were expected to be on the recommendations list from the pardons team, one of the sources said.
Combs is serving a sentence of just over four years in the federal prison in Fort Dix, New Jersey, after he was convicted last year of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, which were the more serious charges against him.
Mr. Trump hadn’t committed on Friday morning to a firm number of people who will receive clemency. He has been privately discussing whether to grant requests, including from Combs, one of the sources said.
“President Trump is the ultimate decider on any clemency related actions,” a White House official told CBS News in a statement.
The president told the New York Times in January that Combs had written a letter to him to ask for a pardon but said he was not considering the request.
Another person who has been seeking a pardon is Grammy Award-winning rapper Prakazrel “Pras” Michel of The Fugees hip-hop group. Michel is currently in federal prison serving a 14-year sentence, after he was convicted of criminal charges that he conspired with Malaysian financier Jho Low to orchestrate a series of foreign lobbying campaigns aimed at influencing the U.S. government under two presidents.
Low is also accused by the U.S. of embezzling $4.5 billion from Malaysia’s 1MDB sovereign wealth fund. Several sources familiar with the matter told CBS News Low is also seeking a pardon.
Mr. Trump had not yet decided whether Michel or Low should receive clemency, one of the sources said.
Friday’s list from the pardons team was expected to be exclusively related to Clean Air Act violations.
Last year, Mr. Trump pardoned Wyoming mechanic Troy Lake, who served seven months in prison for violating federal emissions laws for disabling air pollution-control equipment on diesel engines.
Earlier this year, CBS News was the first to report that the Justice Department had ordered federal prosecutors to drop all remaining prosecutions and investigations targeting others like Lake in connection with the sale of illicit “defeat devices” that are used to tamper with pollution control systems in diesel-powered vehicles.
The edict, issued by then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, marked the first time that the Justice Department formally took steps to scale back environmental criminal enforcement since Mr. Trump took office in 2025. Blanche said at the time he was dismissing the cases “to ensure consistent and fair prosecution under the law, as well as to ensure the best use of Department resources.”
