Venezuelan President seeks prisoner swap with U.S.

“The only way I would use (presidential) powers would be to put (Leopoldo Lopez) on a plane, so he can go to the United States and stay there, and they would give me Oscar Lopez Riveraman for man,” Maduro said on television on Sunday.

Leopoldo Lopez is currently in a Venezuelan prison after being part of a three-month wave of opposition against Maduro’s reign as President. Oscar Lopez Rivera was convicted in the 1980s of seditious conspiracy.
