Trump DOJ Accused of Blocking Maduro’s Defense in Court?!?!

from The Intersection with Michael Popok · host MeidasTouch Network

Is the Trump DOJ so worried it may lose its criminal case against ousted and captured Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro that they are blocking his ability to hire the  legal defense team of his choice?  And what does that mean for the perception and values of our justice system that we are playing dirty pool by cutting off his ability to fund his own defense? Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News from the Federal Courthouse in NY joins Popok to brief our audience about today's hearing and whether the criminal indictment will be dismissed because Trump's playing games with Maduro's defense.
