Claim 1: “President Trump on Friday announced pardons for six people whom he said had been wrongfully prosecuted for "fixing their car"”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent web search results and cross-references confirm that President Trump pardoned individuals convicted of violating the Clean Air Act by tampering with diesel vehicle emissions-control systems ('fixing their car'). While some sources specify 9 or 11 people, the core fact of the pardons for this specific activity is consistently reported.

Claim 3: “Donald Trump revealed his new, controversial $400m Air Force One recently”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim appears in cross-references (Flipboard), but the Wikipedia entries provided refer to a movie, the general presidency, or 'Trump Force One' (a private Boeing 757), not a new $400m official Air Force One aircraft.
