An ex-Green Beret behind a failed Venezuela raid in 2020 lashes out at CIA and FBI

  • A former Green Beret, Jordan Goudreau, accused the CIA and FBI of sabotaging his 2020 plot to invade Venezuela and overthrow Nicolás Maduro, claiming he had support from the Trump administration.
  • Goudreau's lawyers stated in court filings that he had authority from the highest levels of the executive branch for the failed raid, which resulted in several deaths and prison sentences for his colleagues.
  • The raid, known as Operation Gideon, was ridiculed and gave Maduro a public relations victory, while the U.S. Government denied any involvement in the plot.
  • Goudreau faces weapons smuggling charges and has been released on bond, with conditions including not leaving Florida, while prosecutors plan to present DNA evidence at his upcoming trial.
