I think it would be absolutely hilarious after this stupid action by the Trump administration. He is let go because of the lack of evidence of drug trafficking.
Breaking News: Nicolás Maduro, the ousted Venezuelan leader, said he had been “kidnapped” as he appeared before a judge and pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking and other federal charges.
Venezuela Live Updates: Maduro Arraignment Begins at U.S. Courthouse as Trump Threatens Other Countries

This is bad for the greater Youngstown area. There is an EV battery plant by the old GM plant in Lordstown.
Trump's policies in the first term killed the incentive for GM to stay in Lordstown. Policies in his second term and his tariffs put jobs in North East Ohio at risk yet again.

You're supposed to be doing your job reporting the News, not hanging on to it, keeping it a secret so you can write your book, and then instead of reporting news, you promote that book. You give journalism a bad name.
