Here's what happened at Maduro's hearing

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein concluded Thursday's hearing without ruling on whether ousted Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro can use his government's resources to defend himself against charges of narcoterrorism, drug smuggling, conspiracy and weapons charges.

Prosecutor Kyle Wirshba argued that Maduro should not be allowed to use funds from Venezuela because that nation was the subject of sanctions imposed by the U.S. government. Maduro has pleaded not guilty to the charges and said he was apprehended by the U.S. government.

Maduro's lawyers argued that Maduro has a right to choose and pay for his own counsel. They acknowledged that while Maduro does not have a right to funds gained through criminal activity, Venezuela has earned an "untainted" $18 billion in oil sales since Maduro and his wife were seized by the U.S. military earlier this year.

Hellerstein did not set a date for Maduro to return to court.
