Honduras: Protesters Accuse President of Drug Trafficking Ties
--------------------------------------------------------------

In Honduras, hundreds of people protested Wednesday against President
Juan Orlando Hernández and accused him of having ties to drug
traffickers. The Honduran president's brother, Tony Hernández, is on
trial in New York City on accusations of trafficking tons of cocaine
through Honduras bound for the United States. He's also accused of
having personally accepted a million-dollar bribe meant for President
Hernández from the notorious Mexican drug lord known as "El Chapo."
