Trump Administration Directs Prosecutors to Pause Investigations into Venezuelan Leader

Analysed 28 May 2026·2 sources analysed·Miami, United States·Politics
Trump Administration Directs Prosecutors to Pause Investigations into Venezuelan LeaderPreviousNext

The Trump administration has instructed federal prosecutors in Miami to halt criminal investigations into Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodríguez, a longstanding DEA target. While DEA records show Rodríguez has been monitored since at least 2018, she has never faced U.S. charges. The directive aims to support U.S. efforts to stabilize Venezuela following Nicolás Maduro's capture. The Justice Department stated no investigation was shut down, and it remains unclear if the White House influenced the decision.
