President Donald Trump is issuing a pardon to Puerto Rico's former Governor Wanda Vazquez Garced, who was previously indicted in a federal corruption case, a White House official confirmed on Friday.
"This entire case is an example of political prosecution," a White House official said of Vazquez, who was arrested in August 2022 on bribery charges related to the financing of her gubernatorial campaign in 2020.
Trump is also pardoning Vazquez's co-defendants Julio Martin Herrera Velutini and Mark Rossini, CBS News, which first reported the development, said.
Trump has granted a flurry of pardons since assuming office last year, many of them to white-collar criminals and political allies.
Tens of thousands of Cubans are demonstrating in the streets of Havana. The crowd gathered near the U-S Embassy to protest the killing of 32 Cuban officers in Venezuela. Demonstrators demanded the release of former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, who was arrested by the U-S earlier this month. The protest follows President Trump’s recent demands for Cuba to negotiate with him amid tightened sanctions and economic struggles.
In this episode, Pastor Greg Laurie tackles one of the most provocative questions in Bible prophecy: Is the Antichrist alive today? Drawing from Scripture and current events observations, he explores how deception in the last days may not come in the form of obvious evil, but rather through things that appear good—even helpful. From fake tulips to fake lives on social media, Pastor Greg illustrates how our world is saturated with imitations and how this culture of counterfeit can prepare the way for the ultimate deceiver. He also unpacks the biblical profile of the Antichrist, not as a cartoonish villain, but as a charismatic, peace-promoting figure who will mislead many.
Ultimately, Pastor Greg warns against replacing divine truth with digital convenience, urging you to remain rooted in Christ rather than seeking guidance from technology. If you have never put your faith in Jesus Christ, this episode closes with an invitation accept Him as your Lord.
