Original article: EEUU: Duras críticas a Donald Trump por indulto a narcotraficante condenado a 45 años de prisión
In the United States, Representative Becca Balint from Vermont expressed severe criticism of President Donald Trump for his pardon granted to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was serving a 45-year sentence for drug trafficking (cocaine) in the U.S.
«It’s disgusting. Trump is going to overturn the significant conviction for drug trafficking against Hernández, who is serving 45 years in a federal prison for his crimes. He was found guilty by a U.S. jury for collaborating with drug cartels to transport 400 tons of cocaine through Honduras to the U.S., receiving millions of dollars in bribes and illegal commissions,» Balint stated during a notable address in Congress.
«What the hell is the President of the United States doing granting a full pardon to this thug? A man who helped bring deadly drugs into our communities.
