Trump Announces Pardon for Former Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vázquez

Former President Donald Trump is set to pardon Wanda Vázquez Garced, the ex-governor of Puerto Rico, amid ongoing legal challenges related to a campaign finance violation case. The decision to grant clemency comes as the legal pressures surrounding Vázquez intensify. This move follows a trend of recent pardons issued by Trump, many of which have involved individuals with political connections or financial ties to his administration. Vázquez, who had previously pleaded guilty in connection with her case, may be joined by her co-defendants in this pardon, as confirmed by White House officials.
