Trump's DOJ May Have Its Hands Full With Judge In The Prosecution of Venezuelan President Maduro

from Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

The president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, just made his first court appearance in federal court in New York. By all accounts, Maduro is a bad guy. However, the rule of law and the protections of our Constitution apply to bad guys. There's no bad guy exception to the protections enshrined in our ConstitutionThere are some reasons to believe that Donald Trump's DOJ is going to have its hands full in the Maduro case, particularly with the assigned Judge, Alvin Hellerstein, who is a very experienced, no nonsense jurist who previously has presided over multiple Trump associated cases.But that's a topic for another day. I just sat down with Adam Klasfeld of all rise news. Adam was in court for the Meduro arraignment and he joined Justice Matters to tell us all about it.Link for Adam on Substack: https://www.allrisenews.com Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
