Description

Every Saturday, we revisit a story that’s in the news again. This week, a criminal trial started for the former president of Honduras. This originally aired on April 4, 2022. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed. 
Less than three weeks after he finished his presidency, Juan Orlando Hernandez was arrested. United States prosecutors accused the former president of Honduras of being involved in a drug-trafficking ring with his younger brother, Tony. So how did Hernandez and his family become entangled in a cocaine and weapons trafficking scandal that may lead to his extradition to the US?
