Trump Administration Asks Prosecutors Not to Investigate Delcy Rodríguez in the U.S., According to AP
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Donald Trump administration has discreetly instructed federal prosecutors in Miami to avoid criminally investigating Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, who has long been a target of the DEA, according to U.S. officials and former law enforcement officials. This marks the latest indication of a warming relationship between the White House and the South American nation. It is unclear whether prosecutors had implicated Rodríguez in any crime or if investigators were moving toward a formal indictment. A spokesperson for the Department of Justice indicated in an email that 'there has never been an investigation into her to close.' However, DEA records obtained by The Associated Press this year show that her name has consistently appeared on the radar of federal law enforcement agencies since at least 2018, although she has never been criminally charged in the U.S., unlike other high-ranking Venezuelan officials.
