The Trump administration has reportedly instructed federal prosecutors in Miami to avoid pursuing criminal investigations involving Venezuela’s interim president Delcy Rodriguez, according to an Associated Press report citing current and former U.S. law enforcement officials. The development has sparked debate over U.S. foreign policy, the independence of the Justice Department, and Washington’s evolving relationship with Venezuela.
Sources familiar with the matter said Rodriguez had appeared in multiple federal investigations linked to alleged drug trafficking and financial crimes since at least 2018. However, no criminal charges have ever been filed against the Venezuelan leader in the United States. A Justice Department spokesperson denied claims that any formal investigation was shut down, stating that Rodriguez was never under direct criminal investigation.
The reported move comes as the Trump administration seeks to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties with Venezuela, a country with some of the world’s largest oil reserves. Analysts believe the White House is prioritizing regional stability and energy cooperation over aggressive legal action against high-ranking Venezuelan officials.
Critics argue that pausing potential investigations for political reasons could damage the credibility of the U.S. justice system. Former prosecutors and legal experts warned that federal law enforcement decisions should remain independent from diplomatic negotiations and political interests.
The Associated Press also noted that similar caution has reportedly been applied to investigations involving other Latin American political figures. The situation highlights growing concerns about how international relations may influence federal legal decisions under the Trump administration.
The controversy surrounding Delcy Rodriguez continues to draw attention as U.S.-Venezuela relations enter a new phase. Observers expect further scrutiny from lawmakers, legal analysts, and international policy experts in the coming months as details continue to emerge.
