The former president over the weekend gave credence to a widely discredited claim stating that the Venezuelan government influences voting systems globally and caused his loss to Joe Biden.

Growing Tensions regarding Caracas

Specialist Opinion

"Nobody can say for certain what the procedure is within the administration," commented an academic expert from Kenyon College who specializes in national security. "When it grabs the president's focus, my understanding is it enters the process. Trump needs to locate reasons in his own mind for military action."

The expert added that criminal organization assertions about Venezuela have not resonated with Trump's base, who have been reluctant to support foreign military action.

Conspiracy Supporters

Concerning the president's apparent affirmation of his claims, Gary Berntsen stated: "He is aware this is a genuine concern, he knows the truth, evidence in possession of DOJ."
