Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine. He was released from custody in 2025 after his conviction was upheld, with the Supreme Court declining to take up his appeal earlier this year.

DRUG LORD FABIO OCHOA HAS BEEN RELEASED IN COLOMBIA AFTER SPENDING 20 YEAES IN U. S. PRISONS. (PHOTO).

 


Drug lord Fabio Ochoa has been released in Colombia after spending 20 years in U.S. prisons.


Ochoa, a notorious figure in Colombia's drug trade and a significant player in the Medellin cartel, was deported back to Colombia after serving 25 years of a 30-year sentence in the United States.


Shortly after his arrival, Ochoa was a free man again.


He landed at Bogota's El Dorado airport on a deportation flight on Monday, dressed in a gray sweatshirt and carrying his belongings in a plastic bag. Upon exiting the plane, he was greeted by immigration officials in bulletproof vests, but there were no police present to arrest him.


Colombia's national immigration agency quickly released a brief statement on the social media platform X, indicating that Ochoa was "freed to reunite with his family" after officials took his fingerprints and confirmed through a database that he was not wanted by Colombian authorities.


At 67 years old, Ochoa and his brothers built a substantial fortune as cocaine began to flood the U.S. market in the late 1970s and early 1980s, leading to their inclusion in Forbes magazine’s billionaire list in 1987.


While living in Miami, Ochoa operated a distribution center for the cocaine cartel previously led by Pablo Escobar, who was killed in a confrontation with authorities in Medellin in 1993.
