Hernández freed in US after Trump overturns drug conviction
The former Honduran leader had been convicted in March 2024 for helping move cocaine into the US and for possessing machine guns. Trump announced the pardon last Friday, saying Hernández had been “treated very harshly and unfairly”, a position he repeated during a talk with reporters on Air Force One on Sunday.
