President Donald Trump is under renewed impeachment scrutiny after admitting he alerted oil companies — but not Congress — ahead of the U.S. attack on Venezuela, an extraordinary disclosure critics say exposes the true beneficiaries of the operation. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump openly touted oil executives’ eagerness to “go in” and secure Venezuela’s massive oil reserves, even as lawmakers confirmed they were left in the dark, including members of Congress traditionally briefed on such actions. The admission stunned critics, who warned U.S. service members were effectively deployed to advance donor interests, not national security, and drew sharp accusations that Trump is running an oligarch-driven, authoritarian-style government as oil stocks surged in the aftermath of the assault.
