A new U.S. intelligence assessment has disputed the Trump administration's claims that the Venezuelan government is directing an invasion of the United States by the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, according to people familiar with the matter.
The classified assessment from the National Intelligence Council, released this month, is more comprehensive and authoritative than an earlier intelligence product released Feb. 26 and reported last month by The New York Times, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the assessment. They were not authorized to address the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
