SCOOP via @CBSNews: U.S. is taking steps to indict Raúl Castro, the 94-year-old former president of Cuba and brother of Fidel, in connection with the downing of planes 30 years ago, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter. The potential indictment — which would need to be approved by a grand jury — is expected to focus on Cuba's deadly 1996 shootdown of planes operated by humanitarian group Brothers to the Rescue. @SarahNLynch and me

“There have been very important steps taken” by the US in Venezuela, says @MariaCorinaYA. But when will elections be held? “We trust what we’ve heard from the US government,” she tells me, suggesting a possible timetable sooner than the end of Trump’s second term.
English
Trump once again shows (in his own way…) that he’s happy with the progress since January 3rd in Venezuela. The push for elections I would suspect will come after Maria Corina Machados return and will require a lengthy process to ensure a ‘fair’ election can be held.

Former U.S. Congressman David Rivera was convicted of acting as an unregistered agent of Venezuela in connection with a $50 million contract. SAC Skiles said, "Today’s verdict sends a clear and powerful message: our democratic processes are not for sale to foreign adversaries. Choosing to prioritize personal greed over legal transparency, David Rivera and Esther Nuhfer violated the Foreign Agent Registration Act by lobbying for the interests and benefit of the Venezuelan government. Using coded messages and laundering millions of dollars to fund personal lifestyles and political campaigns, these defendants thought they could operate in the shadows. This conviction proves that no matter how much 'coded language' is used or how high-ranking the conspirators may be, the FBI and its partners will remain steadfast in identifying and investigating those who covertly serve foreign interests at the expense of the American public's trust."
