Venezuelan Cartel de los Soles Allegedly Controls Mexican Drug Cartels and Funds US Political Movements

What was said

"The money that was generated through the cartel, the Cartel de los Soles, was being used to fund organizations like Open Societies Foundations, Black Lives Matter, and other groups that we thought were organic here in the United States, but were actually being funded by our enemies from abroad."

Whistleblowers allege Venezuela's Cartel de los Soles—a criminal network of Venezuelan military generals—controls cocaine distribution throughout the Western Hemisphere including Mexican cartels and uses drug trafficking profits to fund US political organizations. They claim the cartel operates as the executive suite above Mexican cartels, leveraging state resources including military hardware and diplomatic cover.
