Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Celia Flores appeared before a US federal judge in New York, pleading not guilty to drugs and weapons charges. The ousted president, who was transported from a Brooklyn jail cell, told the judge he was kidnapped by US commandos from his home in Venezuela. Both defendants are being held without bail and are scheduled to return to court on 17 March, with Maduro's legal team raising questions about the legality of his military arrest.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
