Questioners press for accounting of billions claimed from Venezuela

Participants in a brief meeting exchange disputed reported figures and pressed for an accounting of funds said to have come from Venezuela.

"This report says The United States has taken in $13,000,000,000 from Venezuela," Questioner (S1) said, asking: "Where where is that money going?" The remark launched a back-and-forth about the size and destination of the transfers.

Meeting participant (S2) questioned the $13 billion figure and suggested a larger amount, asking, "20,000,000,000 from Venezuela?" and adding, "I think even more than that. We paid for that war many times so." The participant later characterized the inflows as "billions and billions of dollars" and said the money had helped with "running the country."

Questioner (S3) reiterated the $13 billion figure and asserted a lack of official accounting: "No 1 in the United States government can tell you where that money went." No speaker in the exchange provided a cited source, documentation, or an identified government official to substantiate where the funds were received or how they were used.

The exchange also included an observation linking the Venezuela claims to future concerns: Meeting participant (S2) warned, "That'll happen with Iran," suggesting similar transfers or reporting questions could arise regarding other countries. The brief discussion ended without a formal motion, vote, or a referenced authoritative source to confirm the amounts or destinations of the funds.
