Leavitt defends Trump's pardon of former Honduras president
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to questions about Trump's pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was sentenced to 45 years in U.S. prison for helping drug traffickers move cocaine through his country to the U.S.
Asked about Trump's pardon and how it's different than the administration's dealing with Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro, Leavitt said Hernandez "was set up."
"This was a clear Biden over-prosecution. He was the president of this country. He was in the opposition party. He was opposed to the values of the previous administration, and they charged him because he was president of Honduras," Leavitt said during Monday's press briefing.
