withholding intermediary: A second meeting is in the works but has not yet taken place. ; AP is withholding the intermediary's name and details of the encounter with Cabello out of concern the person could suffer reprisals, according to The Japan Times. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because they aren't authorized to discuss the talks, which are still preliminary. Diosdado Cabello, who is considered the most-powerful man in Venezuela after Maduro, met last month in Caracas with someone who is in close contact with the Trump administration, said the official. It's not clear whether the talks have Maduro's approval or not. But he's also been accused by U.S. officials of being behind massive corruption, drug trafficking and even death threats against a sitting U.S. senator. Cabello, 56, is a major power broker inside Venezuela, who has seen his influence in the government and security forces expand as Maduro's grip on power has weakened.
