President Donald Trump and his administration denied any role in a failed operation allegedly orchestrated by a retired Green Beret to capture Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro
President Donald Trump and his administration denied any role in a failed operation allegedly orchestrated by a retired Green Beret to capture Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro.
The man reportedly responsible is Jordan Goudreau, a retired Green Beret based in Florida who runs a private security firm. In a video released on Twitter by a Venezuelan outlet, Goudreau said he was behind the operation to capture Maduro and"liberate" Venezuela from his rule, and on Monday, he told the Associated Press he had deployed 60 fighters, including two U.S. veterans, to carry out the mission.
At least eight of the fighters were killed in clashes with Venezuelan security forces Sunday, according to the Associated Press, with Maduro officials claiming to have arrested 114 people. But they went further than Esper, casting doubt on the reality of the entire operation. While the administration is"making efforts to learn more" about Goudreau and the two detained Americans, the spokesperson said, it is also investigating"the role of the Maduro regime in this melodrama."
