Secretary of State Marco Rubio testified in federal court that he was alerted in 2017 of an alleged assassination plot against him ordered by top Venezuelan official Diosdado Cabello, offering one of the most consequential revelations in the trial of former congressman David Rivera.
Rubio's testimony took place during Rivera's trial in Miami, where prosecutors allege he acted as an unregistered foreign agent for Venezuela's government in a multimillion-dollar lobbying effort.
