President Donald Trump officially pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández of a drug trafficking conviction, amid criticism from Democrats and some Republicans that it contradicts his narco-trafficking crackdown in the Caribbean.

Records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons show that Hernández, the former two-term president of Honduras, was released from West Virginia’s high-security USP Hazelton prison on Monday. The White House also confirmed Tuesday that Trump had issued the pardon

The Trump family received $billions in payola for Hernandez’ release.
