In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief: First up—remarkable new details are emerging about the operation that captured Nicolás Maduro. Covert CIA teams tracked his movements for months, while Delta Force rehearsed the raid on a full-scale replica of his safe house—leaving nothing to chance. Later in the show—things are just getting started for the deposed dictator, as newly unsealed federal charges lay out allegations of narco-terrorism, cocaine trafficking, and weapons offenses tied to Maduro’s inner circle. Plus—new reports from Iran indicate at least sixteen people have been killed as protests driven by inflation and economic strain spread nationwide and authorities move aggressively to suppress the unrest. And in today’s Back of the Brief—Britain and France carry out a joint airstrike on Islamic State targets in Syria.
