Secretary of State Marco Rubio plans to warn Congress that President Donald Trump is ready to take new military action against Venezuela if the country’s interim leadership strays from U.S. expectations. In prepared testimony for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Rubio says the U.S. is not at war with Venezuela and that its interim leaders are cooperating. But he says the Trump administration won't rule out additional force if needed following its capture of former President Nicolás Maduro to face trial in New York. Also, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is facing rising calls for her firing or impeachment, and few Republicans are rising to her defense.
