The Trial: USA
The Maduro Case: Power, Prosecution, and a President in Chains

Thank you.

The Maduro Case: Power, Prosecution, and a President in Chains

But it is the question that everybody's wondering, you know, how can you go in and break into someone's house, bomb a country and pull out their leader?

The Trial: USA
The Maduro Case: Power, Prosecution, and a President in Chains

If that happened to the U.S., we would be up in arms.

But then you look at the celebrations of the people in Venezuela and that really kind of bolsters, you know, the Trump administration's decision to go in and having that type of morale is very interesting.

I do wonder if there are any other security insights that you could give us, whether it's the equipment that was used.

The Trial: USA

I know you gave some great insight on, you know, some of the helicopters.

But this did take a lot of planning.

The Trial: USA
The Maduro Case: Power, Prosecution, and a President in Chains

If you had to estimate how long this planning was and how many resources, how many people it took to pull something like this off, what would you say?

The Trial: USA

And we clearly have our answer here of how that went.

The Trial: USA
The Maduro Case: Power, Prosecution, and a President in Chains

Well, thank you so much, Will.

Now that we've broken down how the operation unfolded, here's where Nicolas Maduro stands in the eyes of the law.

The Trial: USA
The Maduro Case: Power, Prosecution, and a President in Chains

Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores, were arraigned this week in federal court in Manhattan on a superseding indictment that includes narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, and weapons-related offenses tied to drug trafficking.
