Trump’s pardon of prolific drug trafficker needs explanation
Editor:
President Donald Trump recently pardoned Orlando Hernandez, the former President of Honduras who was serving a 45-year prison term in a US prison.
Hernandez was convicted in a U.S. court of taking millions of dollars in bribes to allow traffickers to move 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S.
Why did Trump pardon him? Perhaps someone from the Orleans Republican Party can help us understand.
