Cohn is professor emerita at Thomas Jefferson School of Law and dean of the People’s Academy of International Law. She recently wrote the piece “Trump Will Try to Defend Aggression Toward Venezuela. It’s Still Illegal.”
Alan MacLeod writes: “Unbelievable. After months of propaganda claiming Maduro is the head of the dangerous drug-smuggling cartel, the U.S. government has admitted it was all a ruse in order to kidnap a sitting head of state.” The New York Times reports: “Justice Dept. Drops Claim That Venezuela’s ‘Cartel de los Soles’ Is an Actual Group.”
