"The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country. This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP, Trump wrote."
"The move comes barely a month after the president pardoned former president of Honduras Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was sentenced for drug trafficking. The president has claimed that Hernandez's imprisonment was the result of a political prosecution by President Joe Biden's administration. But the lead investigator on the case that resulted in the conviction, Emil Bove, went on to become Trump's personal lawyer and then a Trump judicial appointee."
U.S. forces struck Caracas early Saturday and seized Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, who were flown to the United States, the president announced on Truth Social. Officials said the operation involved U.S. law enforcement and that a news conference would follow at Mar-a-Lago. The action came about a month after President Trump pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez, who had been convicted for drug trafficking. The lead investigator in Hernandez’s case, Emil Bove, later became Trump’s personal lawyer and a judicial appointee, prompting accusations of hypocrisy from critics including Miles Taylor and Adam Parkhomenko.
