President Trump pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was serving 45 years after being convicted of moving 400 tons of cocaine to the United States—what DOJ prosecutors had called "one of the largest and most violent drug trafficking conspiracies in the world." The pardon came days before Honduras's presidential election, where Trump threatened to cut off U.S aid to the Central American country unless the conservative National Party candidate, Nasry Asfura, prevailed against centrist Salvador Nasralla of the Liberal Party. As of Wednesday morning, the race remained too close to call, with the latest tally showing Nasralla with less than a 0.2 percent lead after Asfura had been leading by 515 votes.
