Trump pardon for Wanda Vázquez Garced leaves related case unresolved, White House plans fix

President Trump pardoned former Puerto Rico Gov. Wanda Vázquez Garced for federal offenses, but the pardon does not include a separate 2025 misdemeanor campaign-finance case (3:25-cr-00296) tied to the bribery indictment, which remains active and undecided. A supplementary document is planned to clarify the pardon, while co-defendants in the original 2022 case have been pardoned separately and the cases have not been dismissed. Legal observers say the situation underscores ambiguities in how pardons are documented and executed, highlighting the need for formal processes.
