NEW: The Trump administration committed the U.S. to taking a large stake in a Venezuelan company, some of whose owners and investors are shielded from public view.

  • @ProPublica@newsie.social The level of corruption in this administration is astounding. I hope Democrats make unmasking the owners and investors a priority.

    @ProPublica@newsie.social @onuSBonus@infosec.exchange Oh yeah, remember how Maduro and his wife were kidnapped and stuffed into a federal prison in Brooklyn? You’d be excused for forgetting about them since they’ve been buried under the avalanche of all Trump’s criminal activities.

    @ProPublica@newsie.social follow the money. US taxpayers will pay and private equity will get rewards. Development can take years and then there is infrastructure to get to market #uspoli #corruption
