BREAKING: Venezuela’s former Chief of National Intelligence Hugo Carvajal has OFFICIALLY RELEASED every U.S. Senator who is on THE VENEZUELA LIST of politicians who have been receiving MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN KICKBACKS from the Maduro regime and Venezuelan drug trafficking organizations that make up his government in exchange for using their government positions and influence to undermine President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s ongoing war with these narcoterrorists.

Gosh, I was wondering why Rand Paul, Joni Ernst, and Chuck Grassley were so conspicuously quiet about Venezuela. They’ve been “on the take” the entire time!

I’d want to be careful about this list. Being given contributions implies a desire to influence the politician, but scum don’t only give AFTER a secret handshake. They give first and HOPE for a secret handshake. I sincerely hope some of these Republican names ignored the outstretched hand and used the dirty money for good purposes, thereby not getting more in the future. I want to see how many times these contributions came in.

I have been looking for confirmation on this, haven’t found anything conclusive .

It’s grain of salt time I guess.

I expect no less from intelligence that will be forthcoming from Venezuela though .

I SURE hope the Delta Force took EVERYTHING in Maduro's safes for delivery straight to the Trump administration for a quick look see..

I wonder if Venezuela's alleged involvement in the 2020 stolen election is proven by evidence gleaned from materials taken from Maduro's safes.

MAJOR TUB OF POPCORN TIME.

Why were the Maduros taken to NYC rather than GITMO or Ft Bragg?

And the vice president took over. Nothing is going to change if she stays in office

re: Why were the Maduros taken to NYC rather than GITMO or Ft Bragg?

Because on March 26, 2020, Maduro was indicted by the Department of Justice in the Southern District of New York. A superseding indictment was unsealed on January 3, 2026 (see below).

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Attorney General Pam Bondi said Maduro was indicted in the Southern District of New York on narco-terrorism charges. Bondi added Maduro and his wife “will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts.”

Maduro, his wife and four others are named as defendants in the indictment, including Maduro’s son, Nicolás Ernesto Maduro; Venezuela’s interior minister, Diosdado Cabello; its former interior minister, Ramón Rodríguez Chacín; and a leader of the gang Tren de Aragua, Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores.

In a 2020 indictment against Maduro, federal prosecutors alleged that he and other top Venezuelan officials collaborated with the Colombian guerrilla group Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or FARC, to traffic cocaine [thousands of tons] and weapons to the United States.
