"And I know very little about him other than people said it was like, uh, an Obama/Biden type setup, where he was set up. He was the president of the country. The country, uh, deals in drugs, like probably you could say that about every country, and because he was the president, they gave him like 45 years in prison."
"Look, I think, uh, you know, when you weaponize government uh, they've weaponized their government just like they did over here. I'm one of the people that survived. But they weaponize the government. We had the most weaponized government. Our our election was rigged. They went after me. I was impeached twice. I was indicted. They indicted me. I came out good."
President Trump pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez despite Hernandez's conviction in an international drug trafficking scheme. Trump said he knew little about Hernandez, characterized the case as an Obama/Biden-style setup, and said Honduran supporters asked him to grant clemency. Trump rejected the notion that the pardon sends a wrong message about drug trafficking. Trump said opponents weaponized government institutions against him, citing indictments and impeachments and calling investigators vicious. One lead investigator on the Hernandez case was Trump ally and former personal lawyer Emile Bove, whom Trump later appointed deputy attorney general.
