Maduro's Lawyers Fight for Funds, Due Process in U.S. Drug Case

Former Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduros legal team seeks dismissal of drug charges in New York, alleging U.S. government violated his due process rights by freezing funds needed for his defense. Maduro, held in custody since January, claims he cant pay for his own lawyers and was forced to pick his current attorney. He and his wife face life in prison if convicted on charges of drug trafficking and violence. The funding fight highlights long-standing U.S. policy against Maduro, with concerns over a fair trial raised due to the brief approval and subsequent denial of funds for his defense.
