“Designed To Hurt Trump” - Jordan Goudreau & Operation Gideon: The Plot To Take Out Maduro | PBD 677

This podcast recap is from an interview with Jordan Goudreau, a former Green Beret and founder of a company that was hired to execute Operation Gideon, a failed attempt to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Goudreau claims he was recruited by the Trump administration under Keith Schiller to facilitate Maduro's removal and install Juan Guaidó, the opposition leader recognized by the U.S. at the time, arguing this move was strategic to prevent Russia and China from utilizing Venezuela. The interview also touches on the $212.9 million contract signed with Guaidó’s representatives, the operation's failure due to alleged CIA involvement to undermine President Trump, and Goudreau's current legal predicament, as he faces federal charges and is living in a VA homeless shelter while fighting to get his case to trial. Goudreau maintains that his intent was to secure a "bloodless" coup and that he was a soldier following orders from the highest office, despite the media labeling him a mercenary.
