'Corruption': Inside Trump's PARDON of former Honduran president - MS NOW Special Report



The second installment of MS NOW's “Justice Interrupted” examines the pardon of former Honduran president and convicted drug trafficker Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was sentenced to 45 years after being found guilty by an American jury for protecting vicious cartels that brought drugs into the U.S.

In December, Hernandez walked out of prison after President Trump pardoned him, saying his conviction had been a "Biden setup." But many experts say the shocking pardon was just one more example in a long string of reckless clemency decisions made by the president. - 04/16/2026.
