"Honig joined Burnett following President Donald Trump's press conference on the capture of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, as well as strikes overnight on Venezuelan capital Caracas. Trump said the U.S. will run Venezuela for a period while Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the mission as a law enforcement capture of two-indicted fugitives, thus not needing congressional approval."
"Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a Saturday statement that Maduro and his wife have been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States. Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been indicted in the Southern District of New York. Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess"
Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured and indicted in the Southern District of New York on charges including narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machineguns and destructive devices, and related conspiracies. U.S. strikes targeted vessels and parts of Caracas during the operation. A superseding indictment alleges Maduro and associates abused public office and partnered with international traffickers since 1999 to import tons of cocaine into the United States over 25 years. Maduro was previously indicted in 2020. An arraignment in New York is likely within days, and U.S. officials framed the operation as law-enforcement action and temporary governance.
