HAPPENING NOW: TRUMP MEETS WITH TURKEY’S ERDOGAN

​Patrick Byrne on Venezuela Ties Around President Trump

In a recent interview, Patrick Byrne confirmed there is “a connection” between Republican donors close to President Trump and business interests in Venezuela. Byrne joked with Emerald Robinson not to “get him in trouble with the White House” for getting ahead of them, recalling that he had revealed sensitive details to her before and “got in trouble” for it.

Byrne said these issues, which include donor ties to oil and telecom in Venezuela, raise serious questions about influence, money, and national security.
