Statement from a Spokesperson for Trevor Milton’s Legal Team of Lead Counsel Brad Bondi, and Co-Trial Counsel Marc Mukasey and Terence Healy

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A spokesperson for Trevor Milton’s legal team today issued the following statement:

Trevor Milton is innocent; this is a new low in the government’s efforts to criminalize lawful business conduct. Every executive in America should be horrified.

Trevor Milton is an entrepreneur who had a long-term vision of helping the environment by cutting carbon emissions in the trucking industry.

Mr. Milton has been wrongfully accused following a faulty and incomplete investigation in which the government ignored critical evidence and failed to interview important witnesses.

From the beginning, this has been an investigation in search of a crime. Justice was not served by the government’s action today, but it will be when Mr. Milton is exonerated.
