War on Drugs or War of Deception? In the heated debate over U.S.–Venezuela relations and the global “war on drugs,” truth matters. Recent claims circulating online allege that Venezuela’s ex–chief of intelligence, Hugo Carvajal, has released a list of U.S. senators allegedly receiving kickbacks from Venezuelan drug cartels.
These claims further suggest that failure to prosecute them amounts to betrayal. However, a review of reliable sources reveals this narrative to be baseless and politically charged, not evidence-based.

Carvajal — nicknamed “El Pollo” — has pleaded guilty in U.S. federal court to conspiracy charges involving drug trafficking and support for narco-terrorism, acknowledging his role in the so-called “Cartel of the Suns” network that allegedly shipped large quantities of cocaine to the United States.

From his prison cell, Carvajal has made sweeping accusations about Maduro’s regime, claiming the Venezuelan government facilitated drug trafficking and allied with foreign armed groups such as FARC and ELN. These allegations, while serious, do not include any verified list of American lawmakers purportedly on cartel payrolls.
Independent fact-checks have confirmed that no such list has been released by Carvajal or corroborated by any official U.S. investigatory body. Misinformation often thrives in polarized environments, and unverified social-media lists cannot be treated as proof of criminal conduct.

When debating U.S. policy, it’s fair to scrutinize how effectively the United States combats international drug trafficking and whether political actors have been influenced by foreign interests. But conflating unverified rumors with verified facts undermines serious discussion. Proposals for kidnapping or prosecuting elected officials without evidence risk eroding democratic norms and violating the rule of law — principles the United States is meant to uphold.

“It appears that almost the totality of the Venezuelan elite are on the CIA payroll,” Scott Ritter argues, claiming U.S. intelligence penetration has deeply shaped Venezuela’s political class. If true, this raises serious questions about sovereignty, foreign influence, and how covert power operates behind public narratives.
In conclusion, while corruption and international drug trafficking are valid concerns worth public debate and legal action where evidence exists, the specific allegations of U.S. senators receiving Venezuelan cartel kickbacks lack any verified foundation, and should not drive policy or public opinion without substantiation.
