President Donald Trump is issuing a pardon to former Puerto Rican governor Wanda Vazquez, who was arrested in 2022 on bribery charges related to the financing of her campaign in 2020, according to a new report.

CBS news noted that last August she pleaded guilty to accepting a campaign donation from a foreigner. The Justice Department accused her of taking part in the scheme along with a political consultant and the president of an international bank, as well as a former FBI agent. The consultant and the president, Frances Diaz, also pleaded guilty back then.
