SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras—Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández walked out of prison Tuesday following a pardon by President Trump, fueling controversy in the U.S. and Honduras and political uncertainty in the poor Central American nation.
Hernández was released from Hazelton, a high-security prison in West Virginia, said Renato Stabile, Hernández’s lawyer. The former president was convicted last year of helping smuggle 400 tons of cocaine and was serving a 45-year prison sentence in the U.S.
