"The US Justice Department has quietly stepped back from one of its most controversial claims against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, retreating from the assertion that Maduro led a formal drug cartel known as the Cartel de los Soles (or Cartel of the Suns).
"The shift marks a significant reversal from the Trump administration’s earlier position.
Is "Hot Ass" Halligan still trying cases?

VP_Spiro_T_CheneyLooks like Trump’s stupid law-breaking DOJ has got plenty more shyt to eat:
“ On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge David J. Novak, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, instructed Halligan to file a pleading addressing this apparent nomenclature mishap.
More Law&Crime coverage: James Comey's judge didn't call Lindsey Halligan a 'puppet,' but that didn't stop her or the DOJ from digging a deeper hole
The three-page order directing a government filing is the latest chapter in the ongoing dispute over whether Halligan has any prosecutorial power whatsoever. Novak seems to think she does not.
And, notably, the judge himself raised the issue.
"This matter comes before the Court on its own initiative," the order reads. "The Court has reviewed the Indictment in this matter, which was returned by the grand jury on December 2, 2025, and observes that Ms. Halligan identified herself therein as the United States Attorney for this District. Ms. Halligan did so despite a binding Court Order entered by Senior United States District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie on November 24, 2025, in which Judge Currie found that the 'appointment of Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney violated [federal law] and the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution.'"
In late November of last year, Currie found Halligan was a "private citizen" who was never validly appointed to serve as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. The upshot for the prosecutions of New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI director James Comey was clear and explicit: Halligan's participation fatally nixed each of those high-profile indictments.
There are nearly three dozen more cases in which Halligan's name appeared as "U.S. Attorney" on federal criminal and civil charging documents. The subject matter of those cases runs the gamut to include allegations of fraud, conspiracy, theft, vehicle and traffic offenses.

The Department of State intends to designate Cartel de los Soles as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), effective November 24, 2025. Based in Venezuela, the Cartel de los Soles is headed by Nicolás Maduro and other high-ranking individuals of the illegitimate Maduro regime who have corrupted Venezuela’s military, intelligence, legislature, and judiciary. Neither Maduro nor his cronies represent Venezuela’s legitimate government.

Since March 2020, the United States Department of Justice has issued a formal statement identifying Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Diosdado Cabello as the leaders of the Cartel of the Suns , offering a reward of up to $50 million—the largest ever offered for drug traffickers—for information leading to their capture and prosecution.

On November 16, the US Department of State declared that the Cartel de los Soles, or Cartel of the Suns, a term Venezuelans use to refer to officials engaged in corruption, would be added to the “foreign terrorist organization” (FTO) list from today. The US alleges the “cartel” is overseen by Maduro himself.

Oh Shyt!!! Quick call the DOJ and tell them not to backtrack!!! Hurry!!!
(In a revised indictment unsealed on January 3 as US forces attacked Caracas and abducted Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, prosecutors abandoned the language that described the Cartel de los Soles as a structured criminal organisation. Instead, they reframed it as a patronage system and a culture of corruption tied to drug money inside Venezuela’s military and political elite)
