Trump stands by Hegseth over military strikes in Venezuela

Daniel DiMartino of the Manhattan Institute joined "The Final 5 with Jim Lokay" to discuss growing scrutiny over U.S. military strikes targeting alleged narco-traffickers in Venezuela. DiMartino, who fled the Maduro regime, defended the operations and argued that the Venezuelan government itself functions as a drug-trafficking organization that threatens U.S. national security . DiMartino also acknowledged criticism of President Trump’s expected pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, calling the move troubling unless tied to undisclosed diplomatic considerations.
