Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted in the United States on drug trafficking and related weapons charges before receiving a presidential pardon from President Donald Trump last year, announced Sunday that he will return to Honduras on July 26, where he is expected to face fraud and money laundering proceedings.
"We'll see each other again! The time to return home has come!" Hernández wrote on X, adding that he would arrive at 9 a.m. local time. "I can't... I really can't deny the deep emotion and joy I feel in my heart for returning home."
