Federal prosecutors and Maduro's defense jointly propose a June 2027 trial date in Manhattan drug trafficking case.
Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and U.S. federal prosecutors filed a joint court document on July 22, 2026, proposing a June 2027 start date for Maduro's trial on drug trafficking and narco-terrorism charges. The proposed schedule includes a September 2026 deadline for a sovereign immunity dismissal motion, classified evidence handover by November 2026, and a second round of pretrial motions in January 2027. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein is set to review the proposed schedule at a Wednesday court conference.

The split, in one line
Most outlets relay the same wire facts with near-identical framing; ABC News stands out by adding Venezuela's earthquake humanitarian crisis and Trump's election-rigging speech as context, while Bloomberg and Reuters strip the story to its bare scheduling facts.
