Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, the ex-leader of Venezuela’s National Assembly, Cilia Flores, have asked a U.S. judge to dismiss the drug trafficking indictment against them. In papers filed in a Manhattan federal court on Wednesday, Maduro and Flores argue they have immunity as the leader and first lady of a foreign country. Their request came eight months after President Trump ordered their abduction during a U.S. assault on Venezuela.
