Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hern\u00e1ndez was convicted of drug trafficking last year in the U.S. and sentenced to 45 years in prison. He conspired to traffic 400 tons of cocaine into&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ldhVhz37ec\">pic.twitter.com\/ldhVhz37ec<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MeidasTouch\/status\/1995879677286908097?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 2, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nTrump justified the pardon by assuring that the government of now former President Joe Biden &#8220;set a trap&#8221; for Hernandez, who in a letter addressed to the U.S. president, amid praise, recalled the bilateral collaboration between the two countries during his first term.<\/p>\n<p>Juan Orlando Hern\u00e1ndez was sentenced on June 26, 2024, after being extradited to New York on April 21, 2022, three months after leaving the Presidency of Honduras after two consecutive terms.<\/p>\n<p>His second reelection was widely questioned as fraudulent, as the Honduran Constitution does not allow it.<\/p>\n<p>Trump announced on Friday, November 28 that he would be granting the pardon to Juan Orlando Hernandez because he had been treated, &#8220;according to many people he greatly respects,&#8221; &#8220;very severely and very unfairly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, he reiterated his support for the conservative candidate Nasry &#8216;Tito&#8217; Asfura, of the National Party, the same party of Juan Orlando Hern\u00e1ndez, promising that &#8220;there will be a lot of support&#8221;
