Maduro reveals Trump’s relationship with one of detainees accused of carrying out coup in Venezuela

SANAA, May 5 (YPA) – Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced Tuesday that a US detainee who tried to enter the country to carry out a coup d’etat is a bodyguard for US President Donald Trump.

“One of the detainees in the first testimony confirmed that there were two US citizens in the invasion group, two of President Donald Trump’s bodyguards,” Maduro wrote on his Twitter account.

On Sunday, Venezuela announced that it had foiled an attempt to penetrate by sea of “terrorist mercenaries” who tried to enter the country to stage a coup d’état from neighboring Colombia.

Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said in a recent televised address: “A group of terrorist mercenaries from Colombia, today (May 3rd), attempted to carry out an invasion across the sea with the aim of launching terrorist attacks in the country and assassinating the leaders of the Government of Venezuela and to carry out a coup d’état.”
