Show Notes
Former Miami congressman David Rivera stands trial for allegedly secretly lobbying for Venezuelas government during the Trump administration, without registering as a foreign agent. Prosecutors claim Rivera took a $50 million contract from Venezuelas state oil company to soften the U.S. stance, using connections like Texas congressman Pete Sessions to arrange meetings with White House officials and Exxon executives. Riveras team insists his firm advised a U.S. subsidiary on energy deals, not foreign lobbying. The trial coincides with new U.S.-Venezuela talks, highlighting old influence schemes.
