Breakin’ News: US Dismisses Venezuelan Claim of CIA Plot to Assassinate Nicolas Maduro*
Washington D.C. — The United States has squarely rejected Venezuela’s claims of a CIA plot to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro.
In a statement released tonight, the US State Department called the allegations "fabricated" and "outlandish," and maintained that the US has had no involvement in any operation to harm the Venezuelan President.
"The Venezuelan government, led by Nicolas Maduro and his inner circle, needs to stop spreading misinformation to distract from their own ineptitude and the urgent humanitarian crisis in their own country," said a Senior State Department Official.
Washington has been critical of Nicolas Maduro’s government, who has been accused of serious human rights abuses and mishandling the country’s economy. The US is also supporting opposition leader Juan Guaido, whom it recognizes as the true President of Venezuela.
A spokesperson for the Venezuelan information ministry had earlier claimed, without providing evidence, that the CIA had planned the assassination of Maduro, calling it a "plot concocted by the terrorist CIA" to destabilize the country.
The Washington Post, citing sources it did not identify, reportedly said that the US Government had discussed possible military invasion options for Venezuela, drawing criticism from Russia and allies of Maduro.

The United States has dismissed claims made by Venezuela that the CIA plotted to assassinate President Maduro and other top officials.
A spokesperson for the State Department said a US military member was being held and noted "Unconfirmed reports of two additional US citizens detained in Venezuela."
In a news conference on Saturday Cabello said: "The CIA is leading this operation, and that does not surprise us but they, the National Intelligence Centre of Spain, have always maintained a low profile knowing that the CIA operates in this area."These two detainees even tell us about a group of mercenaries they are looking for to bring to Venezuela with very clear objectives to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro, Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, myself, and another group of comrades who are leading our party and our revolution.
The allegations come amid a feud between the Maduro government and both the US and Spain stemming from Maduro's disputed victory in July's election.
Venezuela's National Electoral Council, which is closely aligned with the government, declared Maduro the winner of the vote, but has not published detailed voting tallies.
It came days after González arrived in Spain to claim political asylum, a step that the overall leader of the Venezuela's opposition, María Corina Machado, said he had taken "to preserve his freedom, his integrity and his life".
