The United States had “no involvement” in an apparent drone assassination attempt against  Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Aug. 4, national security adviser John Bolton told Fox News.
Several drones apparently armed with explosives detonated near Maduro as he was giving a speech to the military on Aug. 4. Video footage of the incident, shown on Venezuelan television, captured the moment the explosions went off before Maduro and his wife could be seen looking to the sky in confusion.
