US officials met secretly with Venezuelan military officers who were plotting a coup against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, both a current and a former US official confirmed to CNN.
American officials met with the renegade Venezuelan military officers several times over the last year after the Venezuelan officers made contact, but Washington ultimately decided against supporting the coup, the two sources said.
The US did not provide the Venezuelan officers with any support and the plans for the coup ultimately fell apart, the sources said.
The Trump administration's discussions with the Venezuelan military officers about a potential coup were first reported Saturday morning by the New York Times. The current and former US officials confirmed to CNN that report is accurate.

Take down Maduro and you'll have another ISIS situation. Except with drug cartels instead of islamists

Maduro's not exactly innocent either. But that doesn't mean helping the rebels is a good thing

Because Venezuela was such a giant goddamn threat to the United States that we practically have no choice but to topple the regime. Am I doing it right?
