Trump Spirals When Asked Why He Pardoned Notorious Drug Trafficker President Donald Trump offered up a truly nonsensical rationale for his latest presidential pardon. While traveling on Air Force One Sunday, Trump was asked about his decision to pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was sentenced to 45 years in prison on drug trafficking and weapons charges. “You’ve made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the U.S., can you say more about why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?” asked one reporter. “Well, I don’t know who you’re talking about,” Trump replied. It was not a particularly comforting response after the president previously revealed he has no idea who he’s pardoning. After the reporter clarified that she was asking about Hernández, Trump scrambled to justify his decision. “Well, I was told—I was asked by Honduras, many of the people of Honduras, they said it was a Biden setup—I don’t mean Biden, look, Biden didn’t know he was alive—but it was the people that surround the Resolute Desk. Surround Biden, when he was there, which was about very little time,” Trump ranted. “The people of Honduras really thought he was set up and it was a terrible thing. He was the president of the country, and they basically said he was a drug dealer because he was the president of the country. And they said it was a Biden administration setup. And I looked at the facts and I agreed with them.” “What evidence can you share that he was set up and that he wasn’t—?” the reporter asked, before being interrupted by Trump, who had no such evidence to share. “Well, you take a look. I mean, they could say that you take any country you want; if somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life,” Trump babbled. “And that includes this country, OK?” But Hernández wasn’t imprisoned simply for being the president of Honduras. In 2021, U.S. federal prosecutors presented an array of evidence connecting the former foreign leader to the drug-trafficking activities of his brother, Juan Antonio “Tony” Hernandez Alvarado, who was sentenced to life in prison for importing at least 185,000 kilograms of cocaine, securing bribes to public officials, as well as other weapons and false statement offenses. Prosecutors had described the former president as being involved in a “violent, state-sponsored drug trafficking conspiracy.” Trump pardoned Hernández on the eve of Honduras’s presidential election, in which the U.S. president has endorsed Nasry “Tito” Asfura, a former sportscaster and candidate from the conservative National Party. While it’s unclear what Trump’s exact reasoning is—considering that he had no evidence to back up his claims of a “setup”—it’s possible that pardoning the ex-president may have been an attempt to fire up the conservative voting base on Election Day.

"As legal analyst Asha Rangappa noted, this exchange suggests that Epstein would have leverage over Trump if Trump tried to say he had not been at Epstein’s house or on his plane, in other words, that Trump was there and Epstein had receipts."

It used to be that you had to commit violence in Trump's name to get a pardon. Now it's just being a Republican, a donor, or having put money in Trump's pocket.

Why did Donald Trump commute George Santos' prison sentence? The proof is in the party It's not personal — it's just partisan. Donald Trump commuted the sentence of former U.S. Rep. George Santos on Friday, saving the disgraced gay Republican from more than seven years in prison and over half a million dollars in fines. The order came after Santos and his few remaining allies campaigned the president for his release, supposedly in the name of redemption. "I believe that 7 years is an over the top politically influenced sentence and I implore that President Trump gives me a chance to prove I’m more than the mistakes I’ve made," Santos said after his sentencing in April. Santos' wish has been granted, but it remains to be seen if he's learned his lesson. While conservatives deny that Trump's order showed favoritism to his party, the president has explicitly stated it does. Here's what you need to know about the case. ### Why was George Santos in prison? Santos pleaded guilty in 2024 to 23 felony counts, which included fraudulent Federal Elections Commission filings, identity theft, and unemployment insurance fraud. He admitted to stealing donors' identities and charging their credit cards without authorization, using the money for personal purchases such as designer clothing, Botox, and Onlyfans subscriptions. After he was criminally charged, Santos became the sixth member to ever be expelled from the U.S. House of Representatives on December 1, 2023, halfway through his first term representing New York’s Third Congressional District. His expulsion followed a detailed investigation by the House Ethics Committee, which uncovered extensive evidence of misconduct. ### What was George Santos' sentence? A federal judge sentenced Santos to 87 months in prison and ordered him to repay more than $370,000 in restitution and forfeit more than $205,000. He began serving his sentence in July at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, New Jersey. Unlike a pardon, a commutation does not expunge his criminal record, but releases Santos from prison and clears him of paying any further fines or restitution. ### Why did Trump commute George Santos' sentence? Trump directly cited Santos' political alignment in a Truth Social post justifying commuting his sentence, writing, "At least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN!" Trump also said that Santos had been “horribly mistreated” and held in solitary confinement for long periods of time. He compared Santos’ crimes to Democratic Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s past misrepresentations of his military service, claiming "this is far worse than what George Santos did." ### Did Marjorie Taylor Greene help get George Santos commuted? U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was a prominent voice calling for Santos' sentence to be commuted, formally asking Trump in August. She claimed in a letter to the Office of the Pardon Attorney that his punishment “extends far beyond what is warranted.” “While his crimes warrant punishment,” Greene wrote, “many of my colleagues who I serve with have committed far worse offenses than Mr. Santos yet have faced zero criminal charges.” She did not provide evidence supporting her claim. “Commuting his sentence would acknowledge the severity of his actions and simultaneously provide a path forward in allowing him to make amends," she added. Greene celebrated Santos' commutation in a post on X thanking Ed Martin, a pardon attorney appointed to the position by Trump after he couldn't be confirmed by the Senate for a U.S. attorney post. She said that she "sent Ed Martin a letter on George’s behalf and he got the job done!!" Martin replied, "George had no greater friend than @RepMTG." ### Was George Santos' commutation politically motivated? When asked about Trump commuting Santos' sentence, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson denied that it had anything to do with his party affiliation — though he later said that he considers Santos a viable candidate for the future. "That's not the reason," Johnson said in an appearance on ABC. "That's one snippet of what he said among many things about George Santos." When asked in a separate interview with Fox News if Santos would be welcome in the Republican Party, Johnson responded, “Well, of course." “I mean, that’s our system. If the people duly elect a representative, then we will welcome them into the body. That would be the job of a speaker," Johnson said, while simultaneously refusing to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva of Arizona, who would provide the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. "If someone’s turned their life around and they want to do the right thing, then we should be open to that," he added.
