Deposed Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro made his second court appearance in New York City, facing a case related to his legal fees, as a US federal judge refused to dismiss the case. Maduro appears relaxed in court, a stark contrast to his capture by US forces.

A New York federal judge has refused to dismiss the case against the deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife over the pair's apparent inability to afford their legal bill without aid from the Venezuelan government. Maduro cut a relaxed figure on Thursday as he made his second court appearance since his capture by US forces in an extraordinary nighttime raid.
