Trump to pardon former Puerto Rico governor and her co-defendants, White House official says

President Donald Trump will pardon former Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced and her co-defendants, Fox News has learned.

“This entire case is an example of political prosecution. In August of 2022, Wanda Vazquez faced bribery charges related to the financing of her 2020 gubernatorial campaign. Ms. Vazquez’ pardon materials state that there was never any element of a quid pro quo deal and that her prosecution was politically motivated. The investigation into Ms. Vazquez began 10 days after she endorsed President Trump in 2020,” a White House official told Fox News.

The White House official also told Fox News that Trump will pardon Garced’s co-defendants, Julio Martin Herrera-Velutini and Mark Rossini.
