Corey Johnson was executed by lethal injection at the Terre Haute, Ind.

Corey Johnson, 52, was executed at the federal prison complex in Terre Haute, Indiana and pronounced dead at 11:34 p.m.

He is the 12th person to be executed by the government since July after the Trump administration restarted federal executions following a 17-year hiatus.

From 1989 to 1992, Johnson and others ran a crack cocaine trafficking operation in Virginia, according to the federal government.

In a statement following Johnson's death, they said the government executed a person "with an intellectual disability, in stark violation of the Constitution and federal law." They rejected the government's claim Johnson had the capacity to be a drug kingpin
