January 6, 2026 • Google News World

A 92-year-old judge is presiding over the case involving Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a US court. According to reports, the judge has stated that they do not care what anyone thinks about him.

Maduro pleaded not guilty in the court on Tuesday, amid threats from former US President Donald Trump towards other countries. The lawyer representing Maduro, known for being meticulous, previously defended Julian Assange.

In a statement, Maduro referred to himself as a “prisoner of war” rather than a defendant. This terminology is significant, as it could impact the outcome of the case.

The court proceedings are ongoing, with live updates available on various news outlets.
