Alex Saab, a close ally of ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, is expected to plead guilty Tuesday in a federal case. He is accused of bribing officials to win contracts to import food during widespread hardship in Venezuela. Saab was deported in May by Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodriguez under U.S. pressure. He faces a money laundering charge tied to an alleged conspiracy involving fake companies and falsified shipping records. Saab is scheduled to appear before Judge Kathleen Williams in Miami. President Joe Biden pardoned him in 2023, but federal officials continue to investigate other alleged crimes.

A former CIA official has reached a tentative plea agreement after being charged with theft for inflating his salary. Court records show David J. Rush was found with $40 million in U.S. gold bars at his home. A federal judge extended the indictment deadline to Oct. 8 to allow time to finalize the plea deal and avoid a public trial. Rush was charged in May for fraudulently claiming military leave and inflating his salary with false degrees. Investigators seized about 300 gold bars, plus $2 million in cash and luxury watches from his home. His attorney says the federal charge isn't related to the gold bars.
The U.S. Justice Department has struggled to secure felony convictions against most of the 102 protesters arrested since last year for assaulting federal authorities in four major cities. Of those arrests, the Associated Press found that 41% were dismissed and 34% pleaded down to misdemeanors. The government didn't win any of the 12 felony assault cases that went to trial. The Justice Department maintains that each case is based on facts and federal prosecutors are right to prioritize cases against people accused of assaulting federal officers.
