Trump's DOJ May Have Its Hands Full With Judge In The Prosecution of Venezuelan President Maduro - Glenn Kirschner [View all]
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 Constitution
There 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 Maduro arraignment and he joined Justice Matters to tell us all about it. - Glenn Kirschner - 01/05/2026.
