El Chapo, accused of running the Sinaloa drug cartel—the largest U.S. drug supplier—has been on trial in Brooklyn since November after being extradited from Mexico. Peña Nieto served as Mexico’s president from 2012 to 2018, placing him at the center of these alleged illegal dealings during his tenure.
The timing of these revelations is striking. Some former Democrats suggest the party’s opposition to Trump’s border wall could be linked to these cartel connections. If true, it would explain a lot about the unusual intensity of their resistance.
Adding fuel to the fire, major players linked to Mexican cartels reportedly donated to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. It has been reported that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange claimed the Clinton Foundation received $15 million from Mexican drug networks. On January 9, 2017, Times.com.mx published an article stating that “Mexican Drug kingpin Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán had donated millions of dollars to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, claiming that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange had broken the news.”
Connections don’t stop there. At least one Democrat Senator has a father who was convicted for Mexican drug trafficking. These ties suggest the party’s resistance to the wall might not have been purely ideological—it may have had financial and criminal undertones.
Meanwhile, political watchers are eyeing another major story: the potential fallout from Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro being taken into custody. Rumors indicate that new information about Smartmatic voting machines could surface, which “could change everything” regarding election integrity debates.
The Gateway Pundit will continue tracking these developments in Mexico, Venezuela, and across U.S. politics in the coming days and weeks. Stay tuned as more details emerge that could reshape what Americans thought they knew about their leaders’ motivations.
