Maduro lawyer argues against US halting defence funding
A US judge has questioned if the US can bar Venezuela from funding Nicolas Maduro’s legal defence without violating his U.S. constitutional rights, but stopped short of dismissing drug-trafficking charges against the ousted Venezuelan president facing trial in New York.
Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores wore beige prison garb to the hearing in Manhattan federal court more than two months after US military forces captured them in a surprise raid on Caracas and ferried them to New York.
