justify capturing Venezuela's Nicols Maduro when he stunningly pardoned the former president of Honduras in December. [View all]

And the US president was also asked at the press conference about how he could justify capturing Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro when he stunningly pardoned the former president of Honduras in December.

Juan Orlando Hernández was freed from a US prison after having been sentenced to 45 years behind bars for allegedly creating “a cocaine superhighway to the United States”, shocking many.

And this as the Trump administration was bombing boats in the Caribbean Sea that it was claiming, but not proving, were all “narco terrorism” shipments of illegal drugs bound for the US from Venezuela. The pardon received bipartisan criticism.

At the press conference today, Trump said the Honduran had been “unfairly persecuted” by the Biden administration and turning to his habit of referring to himself in the third person said: “The man that I pardoned was treated like the Biden administration treated a man named Trump.”
