From NPR.

Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro described himself as an innocent and decent man, as he and his wife were arraigned in New York yesterday on federal drug charges — two days after they were seized in a pre-dawn U.S. military operation in Caracas.

Maduro told the court that he is a man of God, and a prisoner of war, "kidnapped" by the American military.

Hours after Monday’s hearing, the Trump administration briefed top lawmakers on the operation in Venezuela. Democrats said the briefing left them with more questions than answers, but Republicans called it thorough, stressing that the actions taken by the administration were appropriate.
