At­tor­ney Gen­er­al John Je­re­mie says no in­ter­na­tion­al law was bro­ken when the Unit­ed States killed sup­posed drug traf­fick­ers in the lead-up to oust­ing Venezue­lan pres­i­dent Nicolás Maduro.

Speak­ing with the me­dia at the UNC head­quar­ters in Ch­agua­nas, Je­re­mie said he had sought ad­vice on the mat­ter.

“I have tak­en ad­vice. The ad­vice is that the strikes were con­sis­tent with in­ter­na­tion­al law. I took ex­ter­nal ad­vice, out­side of the Of­fice of the At­tor­ney Gen­er­al, and that was the ad­vice giv­en to me by an in­ter­na­tion­al ex­pert.”
