Check this out...could this be the intelligence trump refers to when he talks about
what he has learned about terrorism re: his 'Muslim Ban' EO??
A confidential intelligence document obtained by CNN links El Aissami to 173 Venezuelan passports and ID's that it says were issued to individuals from the Middle East, including people connected to the terrorist group Hezbollah.
The official who ordered the issuing of the passports, the report said, is El Aissami, who "took charge of issuing, granting visas and nationalizing citizens from different countries, especially Syrians, Lebanese, Jordanians, Iranians and Iraqis."
El Aissami has not responded to multiple requests for comment over several months. CNN reached out to the Venezuelan government Monday night but there was no immediate response.
This is part of 'the VP of Venezuela is a drug dealer' news today.

A Venezuelan passport permits entry into more than 130 countries without a visa, including 26 countries in the European Union, according to a ranking by Henley and Partners. A visa is required to enter the United States.
