The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Thursday upped the reward it’s offering for information that leads to the arrest of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro to $50 million. 

“He is one of the largest narco traffickers in the world and a threat to our national security. Therefore, we’ve doubled his reward to $50 million,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a video posted to X. 

The Biden administration previously set the award amount at $25 million, which was an increase from the first Trump administration when officials offered $15 million for information that led to Maduro.

Maduro was indicted in 2020 on U.S. charges of narco-terrorism for allegedly attempting to weaponize cocaine by “flooding” U.S. communities with the drug.

Western leaders have refused to recognize Maduro as the legitimate president of Venezuela, pointing to what they say is a disputed reelection leading to his return to office in 2024.

The U.S. government has placed a $50 million bounty on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, ostensibly for drug trafficking fentanyl-laced cocaine to the United States, but in truth as a means to grab a hold of Venezuela’s oil and to silence a key critic of U.S. foreign policy. 

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger point out connections between U.S. intelligence agencies and drug cartels, the ongoing opioid crisis, and immigration policies, suggesting these are deliberate and systemic rather than accidental. 

Maduro’s counteroffer of a $50 million reward for the release of the Epstein files is presented as a political jab aimed at reminding Americans of the scandal President Trump is desperate to stop talking about.
