OH MY: Maduro’s Ex-Insider Turns Snitch, Sends Trump an Explosive Letter. “Hugo ‘El Pollo’ Carvajal Barrios is an ex-military intelligence officer for the Venezuelan government and was a powerful official within Maduro’s Cartel de los Soles. Today, he’s in U.S. custody, charged with narco-terrorism, among other things. As part of a plea deal for a lighter sentence, he’s agreed to help the U.S. government by telling it everything he knows about Maduro and the cartel.”
