Fox News
Honduras’ former president Juan Orlando Hernández, who left office in January, was extradited to the U.S. Thursday to face drug trafficking charges in New York.
U.S. prosecutors allege Hernández participated in a "corrupt and violent drug-trafficking conspiracy" that moved more than 550 tons of cocaine to the United States.
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said the former leader, who the U.S. once touted as an ally in the war on drug trafficking, "abused his power" while president.
