Catherine Herridge @CHerridge - Video: ACCOUNTABILITY JOURNALISM
After our exclusive investigation revealed two former DEA agents and their network of Venezuelan sources are coming forward to claim the $50m reward for the capture of Nicolas Maduro, we developed new reporting that the DEA administrator was allegedly taking credit for running their sources and making the case.
Neither the DEA press office nor @DEAHQ Administrator Cole responded to our multiple requests for comment. The DOJ which has oversight of DEA declined to comment.

Catherine Herridge @CHerridge - Video: NEW: Maduro Whistleblowers Say Some Sources Are “Dead” Following The Raid; Urge Trump Administration to Evaluate Their Reward Claim
“This is an integrated effort between the United States government, myself and Mack and the other members of the team...all the sources that we had. Some of them are dead now. We have others that are living and they need their help. And in my view, it's the US government's obligation to evaluate what percentage they would assign of the monies that are offered in this Rewards for Justice program and do what's right.”

Video: BREAKING: First Look Inside Maduro Whistleblowers $50 Million Dollar Rewards For Justice Claim Amid Allegations A Senior US Government Official Is Taking Credit
This week on Straight to the Point, part II of our exclusive sit down Wesley Tabor and “Mack,” two former DEA operatives with more than 40 years of combined experience in the global drug wars.
Based on affidavits, Wesley and Mack activated high level sources within “every node” of the Maduro regime, providing critical intelligence to DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) and DELTA. They say the intelligence from Maduro's inner circle led to the successful capture of the Venezuelan dictator by American authorities.
We walk through the actual intelligence packet submitted for their $50 million Rewards for Justice claim. The extraordinary never-before-seen documents include photos and videos of anti-air defenses, schematics for roughly 20 miles of underground tunnels, Ministry of Defense bunker layouts, Maduro’s armored convoy specifics, a modified Embraer aircraft with expanded fuel tanks that could reach Turkey, and more.
Now almost five months since the successful raid that captured Nicolás Maduro, the sources who provided this intelligence remain in hiding and under threat while the U.S. government has still given no response on the $50 million reward claim.
We reached out to the DEA multiple times. The DEA did not respond to our questions, including allegations DEA Administrator Cole has been taking credit for running their Maduro sources.
A spokesperson for the Justice Department declined to comment. The DEA falls under the Justice Department.
The Rewards for Justice Program confirmed receipt of our questions but did not answer them.
