Rumor: Biden Offered Venezuela’s Maduro, with $15 Million DOJ Bounty on His Head, AmnestyChristian K. Caruzo 12 Aug 2024
The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden is offering amnesty to Venezuela’s socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro — actively wanted by U.S. authorities on multiple narcoterrorism charges — in exchange for giving up power after stealing the July 28 sham presidential election, according to a report published by the Wall Street Journal on Sunday.
The Wall Street Journal, citing three unnamed sources, stated that the United States has discussed with Maduro regime officials issuing pardons for the dictator and for members of his top brass indicted by the Justice Department. One of the anonymous sources said that the U.S. has put “everything on the table” to persuade Maduro to leave before his current term ends in January 2025.
The report also said that, according to another person “familiar,” the United States would be open to “providing guarantees” to not pursue Maduro and his regime figures for extradition.
The talks, according to the Wall Street Journal, have been held virtually between Jorge Rodríguez, the current head of the Venezuelan National Assembly and Maduro’s top negotiator, and Daniel P. Erikson, who directs policy toward Venezuela at the White House National Security Council.
Maduro, who has clung to power for over a decade through several fraudulent elections, has ruled as the dictator of Venezuela since 2013 after succeeding late socialist dictator Hugo Chávez, who died of an undisclosed type of cancer that year.
U.S. authorities have long accused Maduro of being a leading figure of the Cartel of the Suns, an intercontinental cocaine trafficking operation believed to be run by high-ranking members of the Venezuelan military and some leading figures of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).
The Venezuelan regime-led drug cartel has been accused of engaging in “asymmetric warfare” against the United States by trafficking cocaine into United States territory with the intent of undermining America by “flooding” it with the drug.
U.S. prosecutors indicted Maduro and several other leading members of his socialist regime on narco-terrorism, corruption, drug trafficking, and other criminal charges in March 2020. Since then, the United States has maintained an active $15 million bounty for information that leads to the arrest and/or conviction of Nicolás Maduro.
