President Trump is set to pardon a former Honduran president who had been sentenced to prison for drug trafficking, he announced on social media Friday.
“I will be granting a Full and Complete Pardon to Former President Juan Orlando Hernandez who has been, according to many people that I greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly,” Trump said in a Truth Social post Friday.
In June 2024, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was given a prison sentence of 45 years due to over 10 years of collaboration with drug traffickers on getting cocaine into the United States, according to The Associated Press.
Hernández, who spent eight years as Honduras’s leader, was arrested by officials in February 2022, according to Reuters.
Trump’s comments about Hernández also came alongside larger commentary on the Honduran presidential election, which is set for Sunday.
