Trump Pardons Ex-Honduran President Convicted on Drug Charges

Democratic narrative

Pardoning a convicted leader who facilitated the movement of 400 tons of cocaine into American communities disrespects every family affected by addiction and every law enforcement officer who risked their life fighting against cartels. A comprehensive federal trial, supported by overwhelming evidence, cooperating witnesses, and years of investigation, led to a just 45-year sentence that Trump erased for political convenience just days before a Honduran election.
