US President Donald Trump has declared a national emergency to block courts and creditors from seizing Venezuelan government funds held by the United States of America.
This is important to protect oil-related revenues, which is critical to US national security and foreign policy objectives in the Western Hemisphere.
In an executive order signed on Friday and released on Saturday, Trump said the "threat of attachment or the imposition of other judicial process" against Venezuelan government deposit funds would "materially harm the national security and foreign policy of the United States".
And that of course overshadowed the Epstein files.
