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.

Court President Romer Saucedo said the decision, supported by seven of the nine justices, was based on “several arguments” and identified violations of due process during her original trial in ordinary courts.

Áñez was originally convicted for assuming the presidency during a contentious National Assembly session following the deadly 2019 protests that forced the resignation of then-President Evo Morales. The unrest, which left 37 people dead, followed Morales’ disputed re-election, which the Organization of American States had flagged as fraudulent.

The court’s ruling immediately allows for Áñez’s release, and her legal team stated they are preparing to begin the necessary procedures to secure her freedom.
