The former president over the weekend gave credence to a largely debunked allegation suggesting that Venezuela's leadership manipulates voting systems worldwide and orchestrated his electoral loss.
Although Trump's team have in the past claimed that the president's approach toward Venezuela is mainly motivated by border concerns and illegal drug operations, his new statements suggest that the administration's stance could also stem on an far-fetched narrative that was ruled false by a court in recent years.

Regarding the president's apparent affirmation of his allegations, the conspiracy advocate responded: "He is aware this is actual reality, he knows the truth, proof in possession of DOJ."
Simultaneously, a Venezuelan opposition figure who backs decisive steps against the current leadership but is dismissive of the electoral assertions stated that supporters of the unsubstantiated claim are seeking to exploit their connections within the administration.
