U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has accused President Donald Trump of carrying out an unauthorized military operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of former President Nicolás Maduro. Jeffries said the action bypassed Congress, misled the public by being framed as a counter-narcotics operation, and risked dragging the United States into another foreign war. The remarks came hours after Maduro and his wife pleaded not guilty to drug and weapons charges in a New York court, as Democrats demand answers on the legality and future implications of the operation.
