Live from ABC News headquarters in New York City.

This is Good Morning America.

Good morning America. We have a lot to get to on this very busy Tuesday morning,

starting with the latest on the U.S. attack on Venezuela.

A lot of rapidly unfolding developments right now after U.S. forces with Venezuelan President Nick Maduro and his wife out of the country.

Just two days later, a couple appeared in New York courtroom, pleading not guilty to drug charges that could land them in prison for life. We have full team coverage tracking the new details about the raid, what the Trump administration may do next, reaction overseas. But we're going to begin with a legal case against Nicholas Maduro and his wife. Chief investigative correspondent, Aaron Kuturski, was there. Good morning, Aaron.

Good morning, Robin. Nicholas Maduro insisted he is still the president of Venezuela, told the judge he had been kidnapped and called himself a political prisoner.

This morning, Nicholas Maduro and wife Celia Flores are waking up in jail, returned after a day in court where they both pleaded not guilty to charges they worked together to traffic cocaine.

Maduro entered the courtroom first in shackles and canvas sneakers, orange, the color designated for high-profile or high-risk inmates.

He greeted spectators in the courtroom saying, Winestius, put on headphones for Spanish translation, and rose in his seat as the judge asked,

Are you Nicholas Maduro? I am the president of the Republic of Venezuela, a defiant Maduro

responded, I am here kidnapped. I was captured at my home in Caracas Venezuela.

Flores called herself First Lady of the Republic of Venezuela before the judge

cut them off. Let me interfere, the judge said. There will be a time and place to go into all of this.

The defense already signaling it would challenge their capture calling the U.S. military operation

an abduction. Asked how he pleaded to the charges, Maduro said, I am innocent, I am not guilty, I am a

decent man, I am still president of my country. Flores then stated her plea, not guilty, completely

innocent. Maduro's wife appeared with a bruised and bandaged head. Her lawyer said she may have a

fracture or severe bruising on her ribs. As Maduro was led from the courtroom,

someone in the gallery stood and shouted in Spanish, you will pay in the name of Venezuela.

Maduro stopped, turned to face the heckler, saying, I am the elected president. I am a prisoner

of war. I will be free. But Maduro is going nowhere. He did not even ask for bail, and we're not expected to see him again until March. That's when he's due back in federal court. Okay, Aaron. Thanks. This is my chair. Chief Legal Honest, Dan Abrams. He's right here. So we just heard Aaron say Maduro says he's a prisoner of war. He says he's still the president. How does that affect the legal case? All right, so the legal process is going to be the same for him as it would be for any other defendant.
