Show Notes
Former Florida congressman David Rivera, a longtime friend of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, is on trial for alleged secret lobbying for Venezuelas government under Nicolas Maduro. Rivera and an associate face charges of money laundering and failing to register as foreign agents after securing a $50 million contract. Prosecutors claim Rivera arranged meetings between Venezuelan officials and US figures, using code words to hide their efforts. Rubio testified about their past ties, while Riveras defense argues he consulted for Venezuelas state oil company and aided opposition efforts against Maduro. The trials gravity is highlighted by Venezuelas recent political shift and Rubios presence on the stand.
