'Were you with Prez Trump when he…': Hollen clashes with Rubio over 'oil interests' at fiery hearing
Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland questioned the sincere concern over drug trafficking, given that Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras, convicted and imprisoned in the U.S. for drug trafficking. Rubio and some Republicans on the panel hoped the efficiency of the capture of Maduro would give other socialist autocrats in the Americas pause. Rubio, the son of a Cuban emigré, said he hoped "regime change" would eventually occur there, quickly taking pains to state that the U.S. wasn't planning to bring about that change.
