> A Honduran court has dropped corruption charges against former President Juan Orlando Hernández, who returned in July after Donald Trump pardoned his US drug-trafficking conviction. Hernández had been accused of fraud, money laundering and diverting public funds between 2010 and 2013, but a judiciary spokesperson said he was not responsible for budget decisions at the time.
