A 92-year-old federal judge will decide if Donald Trump’s administration is illegally blocking money for the defense of ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores while the U.S. government refuses to lift sanctions against their country’s government.
Maduro and Flores returned to a federal courtroom in New York City on Thursday wearing prison-issued khaki and orange prison scrubs from a Brooklyn detention center where they have been detained for more than two months after U.S. military forces captured them in Caracas.
