Extra: Former U.S. Marine Details Brutal Imprisonment Under Maduro, And How He Survived

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

Venezuela’s ousted leader, Nicolás Maduro, is now behind bars in a Brooklyn prison, facing charges that include narco-terrorism and weapons offenses. One person applauding his capture—and the bold U.S. raid in Venezuela that made it possible last Saturday—is United States Marine veteran Matthew Heath. Heath spent two years as one of Maduro’s political prisoners and experienced that brutality firsthand. On the FOX News Rundown this week, Heath joined host Dave Anthony and recounted how he was kidnapped by the Venezuelan government and the torture he endured while being held captive. He also discussed the crimes he believes Maduro committed while running the South American nation and what he hopes lies ahead for the country now. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation.
