| President Donald Trump pardoned Nikola Corp. founder Trevor
| Milton for his October 2022 conviction of federal crimes
| related to defrauding investors with false claims about the
| success of the electric and hydrogen-powered truck maker.
| ...
| The pardon came two weeks after federal prosecutors urged
| District Court Judge Edgardo Ramos to order Milton to pay
| restitution of $680 million to Nikola shareholders, and
| another $15.2 million to Peter Hicks, a victim of his wire
| fraud.
|
| Because of the pardon, Ramos could not order restitution of
| any kind.
| ...
| Milton also made significant political donations to Trump
| and his allies last fall, including $920,000 to the Trump
| 47 Committee and $750,000 to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s MAHA
| Alliance political action committee.
