Luke Denman, a former U.S. Special Forces soldier, said he helped train and accompanied a small force that attempted to invade Venezuela by sea.
A captured American citizen, appearing in a video broadcast on Venezuelan television Wednesday, said he helped train and accompanied a small force that attempted to invade the country by sea this past weekend.
Although few Venezuelans were likely to have seen Maduro’s presentation, which took place during an electricity outage, he attempted to ratchet up the tension with the United States by saying it was impossible to believe that President Trump had known nothing about the failed operation.Senior Trump administration officials Wednesday repeated strong denials that they supported or were even aware of the plan.
But Pompeo and others likened the failed effort to a farce and said that U.S. government participation would have ensured success. The leader of the Miami opposition team has acknowledged preliminary discussions with Goudreau but said all dealings with him were ended in the fall. Opposition representatives said they were astounded when Goudreau appeared in an online video Sunday, accompanied by a defected Venezuelan general, to announce that an operation to capture Maduro had been launched.
