Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro submitted an affidavit before the Southern District Court of New York defending his right to have his legal representation financed by the Venezuelan state. The move responds to U.S. actions blocking payment of professional fees to attorney Barry J. Pollack, who has been working on his case since January 4. Maduro’s defense argues that the Treasury Department violated his right to a fair trial under the Sixth Amendment by revoking, within hours, a license that had initially authorized Venezuelan financing. <br /><br />#teleSUREnglish #Venezuela #Maduro #UnitedStates #NewYorkCourt #LegalDefense #FairTrial <br />
