U.S. and Israel Worked with Disgraced Ex-President of Honduras to Destabilize Leftist Governments

HeadlineMay 08, 2026

A series of leaked audio recordings has revealed the United States and Israel, with the support of Honduras, have been involved in a scheme targeting leftist governments in Latin America. The groundbreaking investigation was led by the news outlet Diario Red en América Latina and the website Hondurasgate. It exposes how former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, with the support of current Honduran conservative President Nasry Asfura, President Trump and Argentina’s right-wing leader Javier Milei, had conspired to disseminate fake news with the intention to destabilize the leftist governments of Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. Trump pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández in December after he was convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced to 45 years in a U.S. prison.
