    Both are technically just suspects. Maduro may be a dictator, but his charges are pretty much made up. They should be difficult to prove in court, though I have no doubt in the prosecution’s creativity and imagination.

      Just for context: in November, Trump pardoned the ex-president of Honduras, who was convicted in an American court, and received 45 years in an American prison, for pretty much the same thing.

      Obviously, he’s going to wait until the heat dies down, and Maduro will access his overseas accounts for a hefty bribe, and Trump will pardon him.
