Mexican Senator Lilly Tellez (PAN-Sonora) blasted President Claudia Sheinbaum, demanding that she “stop telling lies.” The senator accused her country’s president of having a close association with several lawyers who represent drug cartels during a fiery speech to the Mexican Senate.
Influential groups in Mexico were working with U.S. oil companies to smuggle thousands of barrels of stolen oil north, only to then move them back south of the border as part of an intricate laundering operation. The case is tied to multiple raids and seizures on both sides of the border that have the potential to shake up Mexico’s political elite due to the cartel connections in these operations.
A former Mexican governor sent a series of letters to U.S. President Donald J. Trump, warning him about the alleged cartel connections of Mexico’s new consul in Miami. In the letters, the politician warned Trump to have the U.S. Department of State and the National Security Council properly check the proposed diplomat due to his questionable background.
