Maduro Appears In NY Court In Dispute Over Legal Fees

A U.S. judge questioned on Thursday (March 26) the U.S. government's justification for blocking ousted Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro from using the South American country's funds to pay for his legal defense against U.S. drug trafficking charges. Demonstrators for and against Nicolás Maduro rallied outside a Manhattan courthouse, where the ousted Venezuelan president and his wife, Cilia Flores, appeared for a hearing on Thursday, more than two months after U.S. military forces captured them in a surprise raid on Caracas and ferried them to New York. The judge questioned the U.S. government's justification for blocking Maduro from using Venezuelan funds to pay for his legal defense against drug trafficking charges, but signaled he would not dismiss the case on that basis. Maduro and Flores have pleaded not guilty to charges including narcoterrorism conspiracy and are jailed in Brooklyn pending trial. They had asked the judge to dismiss the charges, arguing that their inability to rely on Venezuelan public funds interferes with their right to a lawyer of their choosing. Prosecutors argue that because the U.S. has not recognized Maduro as Venezuela's legitimate president since 2019, he and Flores should not expect the U.S. government to allow Venezuela to pay their legal fees. The prosecutors say Maduro and Flores can be assigned public defenders if they cannot afford their own lawyers. The judge said he would not make a formal ruling on whether the Venezuelan government can pay the legal fees or the motion to dismiss the case given ongoing uncertainty around the funds and whether Maduro and Flores had other assets they could use. "They've really sued him just in a fraction of the kind of things that he's done," said President Donald Trump. Earlier on Thursday, President Trump said the U.S. will bring additional cases against Maduro.

Trump: Iran's 'Present' Is Allowing 10 Oil Tankers Through Hormuz

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Iran was letting 10 oil tankers transit the Strait of Hormuz as an apparent goodwill gesture in negotiations. Trump made the comments at a Cabinet meeting in the White House, elaborating on what he had previously described as a "present" from Iran. "They said, to show you the fact that we're real and solid and we're there, we're going to let you have eight boats of oil, eight boats, eight big boats of oil," Trump said. "I guess they were right, and they were real, and I think they were Pakistani-flagged... It ended up being 10 boats." The White House did not immediately respond to a request for more details on the vessels. Trump's comments came as he pressed Iran to agree to a deal that would clear the maritime chokepoint and end its nuclear program. The U.S. president on Tuesday had baffled some observers when he said that Iran had given the United States an expensive, energy-related concession. At the time, he declined to say what exactly he meant. "They gave us a present and the ?present arrived today, and it was a very big present, ?worth a tremendous amount of money," Trump told reporters then.

Trump urges Iran to make a deal

President Donald Trump on Thursday urged Iran to make a deal to end U.S. and Israeli bombing or face more strikes on their country. "They now have the chance, that is Iran, to permanently abandon their nuclear ambitions and to join a new path forward," Trump said during a Cabinet meeting at the White House. "We'll see if they want to do it. If they don't, we're their worst nightmare. In the meantime, we'll just keep blowing them away." Trump spoke after a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Thursday that Washington's proposal for ending nearly four weeks of fighting is "one-sided and unfair" but that diplomacy continues. Trump said Iranians were talking with the U.S. and described them as desperate to make a deal, characterizations Tehran has denied. He also cast Iranian officials as "great negotiators" and said he was seeking an agreement that opens the Strait of Hormuz and shuts down Tehran's military ambitions. Trump suggested that a deal might not ultimately come together. "I don't know if we'll be able to do that," he said of the prospects for a deal. I don't know if we're willing to do that."

Trump: US ‘winning so big’ against Iran

Donald Trump said Wednesday that the United States is “winning so big” against Iran and that Iranian officials are negotiating — but are too afraid to publicly admit it. Speaking to supporters at a GOP event, Trump described the Iranian leadership as hesitant to engage, saying they fear repercussions from both their own people and the U.S. “There’s never been a head of a country that wanted that job less than being the head of Iran,” Trump said. He added that the U.S. is closely listening to Iranian communications and negotiating through intermediaries, emphasizing that the Trump administration is achieving results in the Middle East while keeping national security a top priority.

New Jersey limits masks for law enforcement

Mikie Sherrill has signed legislation limiting the use of face coverings by law enforcement officers, including federal ICE agents. The new law also requires officers to present identification before making arrests, aiming to increase transparency and strengthen public trust. New Jersey becomes the second state this year to enact such restrictions, following a similar measure signed by Bob Ferguson earlier in March. The legislation comes amid ongoing tensions with the Department of Homeland Security and the Donald Trump administration over immigration enforcement and federal authority within the state. Supporters say the law will protect residents’ rights and increase accountability, while federal officials have previously criticized such measures as potentially dangerous.
