Ex-Green Beret Accuses CIA, FBI of Sabotaging Venezuela Invasion Plot

jordan Goudreau claims trump administration backed his failed mission to overthrow Nicolás Maduro

A former Green Beret accused of orchestrating a failed 2020 invasion of Venezuela to overthrow socialist leader Nicolás Maduro has lashed out at the CIA and FBI, alleging they sabotaged his mission. Jordan Goudreau, a decorated combat veteran, claims he had high-level U.S. government support for the clandestine operation, which ended in disaster.

In court documents filed in Tampa,Florida,Goudreau’s lawyers asserted for the first time that he had “authority from the highest levels of the executive branch” for the amphibious incursion. The botched mission left several fighters dead and two of Goudreau’s fellow U.S. Special Forces veterans imprisoned in Venezuela.

A Bold Claim and a Failed Mission

Goudreau resurfaced on social media Friday,posting a video on Instagram in which he sarcastically congratulated U.S. intelligence agencies for their role in strengthening Maduro’s regime.

“I want to congratulate the CIA and FBI for a job well done. As of their efforts in Venezuela in 2020 to sabotage my executive-branch-instructed operation, Nicolás Maduro is being inaugurated today,” Goudreau said, giving a thumbs-up in the video. “Good job, guys!”

The video coincided with Maduro’s swearing-in for a third term, a move widely condemned by the U.S. and other nations that accuse him of stealing last year’s election.

Legal Troubles and Allegations

Goudreau was arrested in Manhattan last year on federal arms trafficking charges related to the bizarre plot. His lawyers argue that the operation was sanctioned by the trump administration, though no evidence has been made public to support this claim.

Two days before the planned incursion, an Associated Press examination revealed Goudreau’s efforts to fund the mission thru wealthy Americans, Venezuelan opposition figures, and investors eyeing Venezuela’s oil industry in the event of Maduro’s ouster.

The CIA and FBI declined to comment on goudreau’s allegations.

A Controversial Figure

goudreau, a decorated veteran with multiple combat tours, has become a polarizing figure sence the failed invasion. Critics have dismissed his claims of high-level U.S. support as baseless,while supporters argue he was a patriot attempting to liberate Venezuela from a corrupt regime. The case has drawn attention to the murky world of private military operations and the extent to which U.S. officials may or may not have been involved. As Goudreau’s legal battle unfolds, questions remain about the true nature of his mission and the role of U.S. intelligence agencies in its failure.

For now, Goudreau’s accusations have added another layer of intrigue to an already controversial chapter in U.S.-Venezuela relations.

By NewsDirectory3.com

In a recent interview, we sat down with two individuals to discuss the controversial claims made by former Green Beret Jordan Goudreau, who accused the CIA and FBI of sabotaging his failed 2020 mission to overthrow Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Our conversation features Mark Thompson, a military analyst with deep knowledge of private military operations, and Sarah Collins, a curious journalist eager to understand the intricacies of this high-stakes story.

The interview

Sarah Collins: Mark,let’s start with the basics.Who is Jordan Goudreau, and why is his story making headlines again?

Mark Thompson: Jordan Goudreau is a decorated former Green Beret with multiple combat tours under his belt. He gained notoriety in 2020 for orchestrating a failed amphibious invasion of Venezuela, aimed at overthrowing Nicolás Maduro. Recently, he resurfaced on social media, accusing the CIA and FBI of sabotaging his mission.He claims he had high-level U.S. government support, though no concrete evidence has been presented to back this up.

Sarah Collins: That’s quite a bold claim. What exactly happened during this mission?

Mark Thompson: The mission was a disaster. goudreau and his team planned an incursion into Venezuela, but it ended with several fighters dead and two of his fellow U.S. Special Forces veterans imprisoned in Venezuela. Just days before the operation, an Associated Press examination revealed that Goudreau had been trying to fund the mission through wealthy Americans, Venezuelan opposition figures, and investors interested in venezuela’s oil industry if Maduro were ousted.

Sarah Collins: Goudreau claims he had “authority from the highest levels of the executive branch.” Is there any truth to that?

Mark Thompson: That’s the million-dollar question. Goudreau’s lawyers have asserted this in court documents, but so far, no evidence has been made public to support the claim. The Trump administration has not commented on the matter, and both the CIA and FBI have declined to respond to Goudreau’s allegations. It’s a murky situation, to say the least.

Sarah Collins: What about Goudreau’s recent social media post? He sarcastically congratulated the CIA and FBI for strengthening Maduro’s regime. What’s the context there?

Mark thompson: That video was posted on the same day Maduro was sworn in for a third term, which many nations, including the U.S., have condemned as illegitimate. Goudreau’s tone was dripping with sarcasm, as he gave a thumbs-up and said, “Good job, guys!” it’s clear he believes U.S. intelligence agencies played a role in his mission’s failure, though he hasn’t provided specifics.

Sarah Collins: Goudreau was arrested last year on federal arms trafficking charges.How does that fit into the bigger picture?

Mark Thompson: The charges are related to the weapons and equipment he allegedly acquired for the Venezuela mission. His lawyers argue that the operation was sanctioned by the Trump administration, but again, there’s no public evidence to support this. The legal battle is ongoing,and it’s unclear how much of Goudreau’s story will hold up in court.

Sarah Collins: How has the public reacted to Goudreau’s claims?

Mark Thompson: He’s become a polarizing figure.Critics dismiss his claims as baseless, arguing that he’s trying to deflect blame for the mission’s failure. On the other hand, some supporters see him as a patriot who was trying to liberate Venezuela from a corrupt regime. The case has also drawn attention to the shadowy world of private military operations and the potential involvement—or lack thereof—of U.S. officials.

Sarah Collins: What’s next for Goudreau and this case?

Mark Thompson: That’s hard to say.His legal battle is still unfolding, and it’s unclear whether more evidence will come to light. What’s certain is that his accusations have added another layer of intrigue to an already controversial chapter in U.S.-Venezuela relations. We’ll have to wait and see how this story develops.

Sarah Collins: Thanks, Mark.This is certainly a fascinating and complex story. I’m sure our readers will be eager to follow any updates.

Mark Thompson: Absolutely, Sarah. It’s a story that raises a lot of questions about the intersection of private military operations and government involvement. Stay tuned for more developments.
