Two top Trump administration officials have now denied U.S. involvement in the apparent assassination attempt of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday night.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo echoed the comments made by National Security Adviser John Bolton earlier in the day as he returned from an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) conference Sunday night.
"Ambassador Bolton said this morning there wasn’t an American connection," Pompeo told reporters on the flight as he prepared to return to Washington, D.C. "We don’t really have a lot of detail about what took place beyond what you’ve seen and what the -- I think the White House has put out so far."
