Maduro’s Case Proceeds: Judge Denies Dismissal Over Legal Fees
A federal judge has denied a motion to dismiss the case against Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, who are facing charges in New York. The defense argued the U.S. government's sanctions prevented them from paying for legal counsel, violating their constitutional rights. The judge ruled the indictment stands but will schedule a new hearing to address the complex issue of funding their defense.
