A lawyer for former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández is hoping U.S. President Joe Biden, along with former presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama, can save him from criminal charges alleging he accepted millions of dollars from drug traffickers

Colon said Hernandez denied taking millions in payoffs from El Chapo and other murderous drug kingpins in exchange for helping them transport large amounts of drugs through Honduras to the U.S. He said he expected El Chapo would verify that claim, if he were able to get him to testify.

After Tuesday’s hearing, defense attorney Colon said he would try to subpoena other long-shot witnesses – like former Presidents Trump and Obama as well as former top U.S. security officials like John Kelly and Mike Pompeo. As for subpoenaing Biden, Obama and Trump, Colon said: “Why not? Biden may be busy running the country, but I can’t think of anything that Trump is doing that’s important and I know that Mr. Obama is retired, so ....”

Hernandez is being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn without bail pending trial. Judge Castel said he expects the trial to start in January.

Trump Says He Lost Cell Phones Requested By New York Attorney GeneralFormer President Donald Trump said that one of the cell phones he brought to the White House was taken from him “at some point” and has gone missing. 'Trump said he only had two cell phones: an iPhone for personal use and a new phone used exclusively for posting on Truth Social' Maybe he can trade in that unused Truth Social phone for an upgraded iPhone. Makes sense to me, If they asked for any of my old phones I'd be honest in saying they are lost. I have no idea where they would be now. He is learning
