We just got a bombshell report from the New York Times, Julie Turkowitz out in Venezuela.

0:04.6

She says that she was there this week to document what is taking place there and to speak with

0:09.9

people who may have relationships with those who were killed on those fishing boats.

0:16.8

In an interview with the Times, one woman who identified herself as the wife of one of the dead men said that her husband was a fisherman with four children who left one day for work and never came back.
