Inside Maduro’s defiant first day in court

from Apple News Today

Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife appeared in a Manhattan courtroom Monday. Eric Tucker of the Associated Press breaks down the charges and how the case compares with that of another deposed Latin American leader. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani immediately turned to signing executive orders to kick off his term. The City’s Katie Honan joins to discuss how he’s managing his first days in office. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz says he will not seek a third term. The Minnesota Star Tribune’s Nathaniel Minor explains how criticism over Waltz’s handling of fraud scandals led to the decision. Plus, how federal health authorities are significantly changing the childhood-vaccine schedule, a plaque honoring police who defended the Capitol on January 6 is nowhere to be seen, and the U.S. has a new lightning capital. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
