#JuanOrlandoHernández was at the center of what the authorities had characterized as “one of the largest & most #violent #DrugTrafficking conspiracies in the world.”

#Trump’s pledge to #pardon #Hernández last week came just hours after he had received a fawning letter in which Hernández cast himself as the victim of “political persecution” by the #Biden-Harris admin, comparing his fate to that of Trump’s.

The 4-page letter was dated Oct. 28. But it was provided to #Trump by #RogerStone, Trump’s longtime on-&-off “political” [ #criminal] adviser [ #ProudBoys], just hours before Trump announced his plan to #pardon #Hernández, Stone said on his own radio show on Sunday.

A White House official said Trump had not seen the letter before he posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Friday about the coming clemency grant [sure, we believe you 🤦🏼‍♀️].
