After Trump's Pardon, Ex-Honduran Leader Faces Trial at Home

Trump pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández from a 45-year U.S. drug sentence. But on August 3, 2026, he faces a Honduran court on fraud and money laundering charges in the Pandora II and Helios cases. These are separate from the U.S. case. The trial will show whether Honduras can fairly judge its own former leader.
