Roger Stone, a Trump ally and convicted felon, is back in the news amid ongoing political indictments and debates over justice and influence.
On September 26, 2025, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by a grand jury in Virginia for allegedly making false statements and obstructing justice during his 2020 Senate testimony about the Russia investigation. The indictment follows President Trump's public calls for prosecution of his critics and marks the first criminal case against a senior official linked to the 2016 election probe.
On December 2, 2025, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was released from a US prison after receiving a full pardon from former US President Donald Trump. Hernández was convicted in 2024 of drug trafficking and sentenced to 45 years. Trump justified the pardon citing claims of political bias and support from Hondurans. The move coincides with Honduras's tight presidential election, where Trump backs candidate Nasry Asfura.
