Prosecution says Maduro case involves matters of national security

The prosecution says the Maduro case is unique, something that the judiciary has not had to address before. The prosecutor said this case involves national security and foreign policy issues. Judge Alvin Hellerstein pushed back, asking the prosecution about the defendant's right to select his own counsel and fund his own defense. Hellerstein said he "concedes" that the government has the right to pursue national security and foreign policy interests, but he doesn't see how that applies in this case.
