Sen. Coons: Trump Pardoning Ex-Honduran Pres. Who Trafficked Hundreds of Tons of Cocaine to the U.S. ‘Is Exactly the Wrong Message’

EXCERPT:

COONS: "That pardon suggests that President Trump has been pardoning people left and right for all sorts of reasons that don‘t serve America‘s core interests. If President Trump actually wants to send a strong signal to Central and South American heads of states involved in narco trafficking, pardoning one of the most recent grotesque offenders, a man who trafficked 500 tons of cocaine into the United States, is exactly the wrong message. So, as is so often the case here, Trump says one thing and does the other. He says he supports law enforcement and pardons the January 6th rioters who assaulted law enforcement. He says this campaign is about stopping drugs coming into America, and I think we will soon see him pardon the immediate past president of Honduras who trafficked hundreds of tons of cocaine to the United States."
